Curried Lentil Soup

 I made so much food yesterday it was ridiculous! I didn't even have a chance to try my curried lentil soup! I just made this bowl after it was finished in the slow-cooker so I could take a picture of it. I'm planning on having it for lunch today so I hope it's yummy. It sure does smell yummy! Plus it's super healthy packed with vegetables and of course, lentils (which are very good for you)!

1. In a 5-6 quart slow-cooker combine all ingredients except tomatoes, spinach & yogurt; Mix well.
