Dried beans are a pantry superhero - inexpensive and easy to prepare. Get a head start by cooking the beans in advance. They can be stored, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
We often eat easy-to-make soups when there's not a lot of time to cook. I replaced the wild rice requested in the original recipe with a boxed rice mix to make it even faster.
This thick and hearty curried lentil and sweet potato soup is packed with spicy flavor. Get it going, then call a friend or spend some time with the kids while it simmers.
