Throw a bag of lentils in your slow cooker on high with two stalks of celery, one small onion about 6 or 7 cups of water, one clove of garlic, tsp of curry powder, tsp of margoram (ground), healthy pinch of taragon and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the lentils are done then add some carrots and simmer on low for another hour. Great soup to cook while you are doing other things.
