Curry Veggie Stew, Giveaway Links, Spoken Word Poetry Video




Oops, I did it again! I made another soup recipe. This one is jam-packed with veggies, both frozen and fresh.

Curry Veggie Stew

3 bunches kale stalks, chopped
1 bunch carrots, diced
1 eggplant, diced
1 bag frozen broccoli florets
1 bag frozen spinach
1 cup yellow split peas
5 cups water
2 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp Braggs
1 tbsp mustard

In a big soup pot, add all veggies (if using an onion, add that first), split peas, and water. Cook about an hour, until veggies and peas are soft. Season to taste.

It's amazing, but the broccoli and eggplant are not even detectable when it's done because they cook down so much. This is the perfect recipe for any kind of vegetable you don't like that much. And of course, a perfect way to use your kale stalks!
