Curried Lentil Soup image

This is my version of a very tasty soup recipe that was in the local newspaper. It's a good idea to make the vegetables all about the same size dice, they cook evenly that way. I used half chicken stock and half water, but I'm sure that vegetable stock would be great too that way the soup could be kosher and or vegetarian!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I always have a bag of lentils in my pantry and this soup is a quick and easy way to use them up.
