  • 5 carrots, peeled and diced

  • 1 1/2 cups lentils

  • 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets

Detox crockpot soup

Directions

Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrots, lentils and cauliflower to the crockpot. Stir in the turmeric, ginger, coriander, cumin, bay leaves, thyme and vegetable broth. Place the lid on the crockpot, set it to high, and allow the soup to cook for 6 hours until the lentils are soft.

Pouring broth into crockpot

Once the soup is done cooking, remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Use a potato masher or the back of a ladle to mash up about half of the lentils in the crockpot. This will give the soup a heartier stew-like consistency.
