I had a stressful week at work last week, and my menu was repetitive–but nourishing. Here’s the recipe for the Curried Tomato Lentil soup that was the staple of my meal plan.
Curried Tomato Lentil Leek Soup
3/4 cups dried lentils, rinsed
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
29 oz vegetarian broth
Combine all in crock pot and cook on low for 6.5-7 hours)
(From Healthy Crockery Cookery by Mable Hoffman
The original recipe called for two 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth
and 2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil)
Is there a certain food that you crave when you are stressed or tired?

I think Id love that — sans curry powder.
I know.
Im boring that way 🙂
Mmm, I love the simplicity of that recipe. We were on the same page today with the curries. 🙂 Looks good!!
I usually crave pasta – i go into a whole comfort food zone 🙂
I'm definitely with you on the last one there! Not sure where I would be without my daily dose of Starbucks 😉
That looks tasty. I'm new to the lentil and curry world, but am branching out and trying more recipes that include it.
When I'm stressed I crave comfort food — usually something carby!!
This soup is really easy and really yummy — and it smells so good when it's cooking!
I love the smell of curry cooking!
I’ve never made soup. Only Chinese Congee!
Yay! Thank you for joining us! Sounds like a great comfort food! I really need to remember to use leeks more, I often forget about them, which is crazy as my dad cooks with them all the time! Have a wonderful monday 🙂
Some of my most fave ingredients! I am all over it for sure. Thanks for linking up with us today
Oh with snow on the ground I could go for a bowl of that soup and warm flat bread right now!
When I’m stressed or tired I crave sweets! Usually sweet popcorn, ice cream, chocolate, and coffee but I always want coffee!
