We love our Crock-Pot<\/a> For this Vegan Slow Cooker Coconut Red Lentil and Carrot Soup I used dry red lentils and simply rinsed them before placing them in the slow cooker. I love this option because I can easily store dry red lentils in an airtight container in the cupboard for years.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 tbsp coconut oil Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n In a large frying pan heat coconut oil over medium heat, add onions, celery, and garlic plus. Cook until onions and celery have softened. Add in cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. I also love to add a handful of spinach at the end of the cooking process so that it is slightly wilted and adds some greens to the soup.
