Red Bead Curry Soup

last week i made our favorite soup during the day on monday or tuesday. we weren't home for dinner so i just put it in the fridge. i kept thinking we were going to eat it for dinner, but instead we both had a bowl for lunch almost everyday. it was 100x better than what either of us normally scrape up, and basically it's like eating a bowl of vegetables. so i decided to try to make soup once a week that we could eat for lunch. homemade soup can be so freaking healthy.

this recipe is from bob's red mill -- whole grains and beans soup mix bag. you can click on the picture below to read the recipe, because you could probably make it with dry beans and rice too. i modified it to be vegetarian (actually vegan) by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and putting in roasted corn and sweet potatoes instead of chicken. I just put in 1 sweet potato but on round two i would use 2 -3 because it was a perfect pairing. i also added a final step of blending about 1 cup of soup and putting it back in to make it seem creamier and more curry-y.

soup is so great when it's nasty outside. it makes me feel like a million $$.
