This soup is not only popping with flavor, it contains some of the most healing spices on the planet: cumin, turmeric and coriander, plus I added curry powder (which contains all three of those ingredients) for extra nutrient power. What's more it's an easy recipe that you can throw in the crockpot and it'll be ready for dinner (best meals ever are the ones that are ready and waiting for you when you get home).
