1x2x3x

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 stalks leeks halved lengthwise and sliced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• ½ stalk celery sliced
• 4 medium carrots sliced
• 2 quarts chicken stock
• 2 cups dried lentils rinsed well
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 dash cayenne
• 1 dash salt
• 1 dash pepper
• 1 handful lemon thyme chopped
• 15 ounces coconut milk
• 3 pieces chicken apple sausages cooked and sliced (optional)

Instructions

 

• In a stockpot, sauté leeks, garlic and celery in olive oil or butter until for a minute or two.
• Add curry powder and sauté for another minute. Then, add lentils and enough chicken stock to cover by about an inch. Bring to boil, then turn down to a steady simmer.
