This soup was a random concoction of the vegetables we earned for helping at the community garden.  The shapes and sizes of the veggies were also random, as the kids all helped chop.  Use whatever you have on hand or follow this recipe, as works for you. Use organic or local when possible. It will turn out to be a nourishing and delicious soup.

Braising greens are packed with nutrients, and when finely chopped, can be added to lots of dishes and enjoyed even by young ones.We received our braising greens in a bundle from our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share. If you don't see them in your local store, you can easily substitute swiss chard, kale or any other dark leafy greens you'd like to try.

This red lentil curry soup with onion, celery, tomato and a special blend of madras curry spices is satisfying and nourishing. Madras curry is a blend of many healthy spices that includes coriander, chilies, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek leaves, salt, black pepper, ginger, mustard, bay leaf, pulse, cloves, nutmeg, caraway, cinnamon, cardamom seeds, mace, and asafoetida.  Enjoy!
