- 1 medium butternut squash
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 big carrots
- 3 stalks celery
- 1 large onion
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 cups black or green lentils
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
- 1 tsp. turmeric
- 1/2 tsp. crushed pepper flakes or 2 chopped hot peppers
- 8 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup spinach or chopped kale.
Peal and chop all vegetables in bite size pieces.
Put vegetables in the large crockpot
Sprinkle all spices on top
Add vegetable broth and mix together
Put lid on crockpot and turn to high. Cook for 5 to 6 hours until vegetables are tender.
Put spinach or kale in about 10 minutes before you are ready to serve.
I put in enough spinach or kale for one serving as it is just meeting my eating the greens requirement. When I reheat the leftovers I'll add more greens at that time.
The soup will last for several days in the refrigerator or you can freeze it.
