Sweet Potato Lentil Soup [Recipe]

I love soup anytime, and it’s perfect for this June gloom weather here on the coast. ️

I shared in my stories about this lentil soup I made over the weekend and some of you asked for the recipe, so here you go!

Sweet Potato Lentil Soup

• 1 medium yam, peeled and chopped

• 1 orange or red bell pepper, chopped

• 2 carrots, chopped

• 2 stalks celery, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt (add more salt after cooking to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/8 teaspoon coriander powder

• 2 bay leaves

• Dash cayenne pepper powder

• 4 cups of water

In the Instant Pot:
Add all ingredients, stir, seal lid and press “soup” button.

In a regular pot:
Sauté celery, bell pepper and garlic in a little olive oil then add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender.

Serve with a green salad, and brown rice or your favorite bread. 🥖
