This soup is a number of things:
1. This soup is a good way to get your health on.
2. It was a homework assignment for my Food for Thought cooking club.
3. It is just tasty and tastes good!
Cooking club wanted us to test/try a new spice and my was turmeric. I have always heard good things about it. This soup was my take of Moroccan lentil soup. I, of course, had to change it up a bit. Turmeric has a number of health benefits. Turmeric is a anti inflammatory, blood pressure aid, diabetes aid, cancer blocker, and more. I think I did great!
