Tomi's "Curry" Soup

20 oz. ground turkey (or we use sausage/hamburger)
1 large onion, chopped
1 T. curry powder (more or less according to preference and the strength of your curry)
4 cloves garlic
1 t. cumin
1/2 t. ginger
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. cloves
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

2 carrots, shredded
4 ribs celery, chopped
1 c. dried lentils
4 medium potatoes, chopped
1 can tomato sauce
6 c. chicken broth

Directions
In your soup pot, break up and brown ground turkey. Add garlic, onion, and all spices (everything down to and including salt and pepper). When turkey is no longer pink, add carrots and celery and saute for a few minutes, until they begin to soften. Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil, then simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally, until lentils and potatoes are soft.

Makes 8 very hearty servings. This is a very flexible recipe -- add more veggies or more or less chicken broth to get the thickness you want. Enjoy!
