Thai Curry Lentil Soup

This is delicious and easy to make!

2 cups lentils ( I prefer the small green ones)
1 onion
2 leeks
1 red bell pepper
2-3 med. carrots
1 can coconut milk
salt
juice of 1 lime
thai curry paste- 1-2 tsp. Depending on how spicy you want it.
6 cups of water
canola oil

Cover the bottom of a soup pot with a thin layer of oil. Add onion and leek and sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent. Add other vegetables and cook briefly. Add the water and lentils. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer for 30-45 minutes until lentils are cooked. Add coconut juice, Thai curry, salt, and lime. Stir, adjust seasoning, and serve.

Also I will be out of town and away from computer access this week. Will be back writing next Monday.
Have a lovely week!
