Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup, NYE Dresses

First, the fun stuff: fashion! The other day, I snagged these Steve Madden glitter heels:

And now I have to decide between two dresses to wear them with on NYE. 

Option A:

Help choose!

Now, onto the serious stuff. I made a new soup!

Spicy Sweet Potato & Lentil Soup


Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
  
• 1 onion, chopped
  
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
  
• 2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  
• 2 large carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  
• 1 cup lentils (I used 1/2 cup red, 1/2 cup green)
  
• 6 cups broth
  
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  
• 1/4 tsp. cayenne
  
• s&p

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.
   
2. Add the celery and carrot and cook for 5 minutes.
   
3. Add sweet potato, lentils, stock, cumin, and cayenne.
   
4. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.

As long as you use vegetable broth, this is another vegetarian recipe. With all the vegetables it is a very filling and comforting soup. Add the cayenne carefully – 1/4 tsp. is plenty.
Enjoy!
