Despite warmer weather sickness in the house is a perfect opportunity for soups this week. Taking part in Org Junkie's Menu Plan Mondays has inspired me to keep on top of menu planning every week (even if I forget to post my plans). Yesterday we didn't have soup. So without further ado, our meals for this week:
Sunday: Chickpea and Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie
Monday: Vegetable soup and leftovers from Sunday.
Tuesday: Egg Drop Soup and a Stir-fry, if I'm up to it.
Wednesday: Classic chicken noodle soup
Thursday: Curried Lentil Soup *I'll include the recipe as it's a favorite!*
Friday: Lentil Tacos (we've got to have a change, right!?)
Instructions
In a large pot heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery & onion. Sauté until just getting tender. Add the garlic & curry powder. Cook while stirring for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of the broth & scrap the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add remaining broth and lentils. Place a cover on the pot leaving it slightly ajar & bring to a boil. Reduce the heat & simmer for 30 minutes stirring from time to time.
Check to see if the lentils are done. When they are tender add the tomato & greens. Simmer for about 10 more minutes. Salt & pepper as needed.

My adorable husband gave me a terrible cold last week. Since I suffer from severe chronic pain issues the cold also heighten my pain. Today is my first day of feeling better.
I hope everyone gets better soon.
In the meantime, I'm getting my fill of "Law & Order".
I looooove chickpeas. I will defo try this shepherd's pie!
@Berry- Sounds like a great way to chill with your cold. Sorry about the pain.
@Mah-jong hope you enjoy the pie.
