2 teaspoons cooking oil

2 1/2 cups water

2 cups cubed rutabagas or turnips

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup dry lentils -- rinsed and drained

1/4 teaspoon salt

High in protein and fiber, lentils give an enticing earthy vegetable flavor

to all types of soups and stews. Look for lentils near the dried beans in

your supermarket.

 

In a large saucepan cook onion and curry powder in hot oil for 3 minutes,

stirring occasionally. Add water, rutabagas, carrots, lentils, salt, and

pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 to 20

minutes or until vegetables and lentils are almost tender.

 

Stir the frozen green beans into the lentil mixture. Return to boiling;

reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes more or until vegetables

and lentils are tender. Stir in the vegetable juice and heat through. To

serve, ladle Into soup bowls. Makes 6 main-dish servings.
