Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 2 cups green or brown lentils, rinsed

• 1 large yellow onion, diced

• 2 carrots, diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed (for Southern sweetness)

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (fire-roasted if you like smoky flavor)

• 6 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you want more richness)

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (balances flavor & helps digestion)

• 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

• 2 to 3 tbsp P.A. Herbal Minerals - Gold Sea Moss Gel (boosts digestibility)

P.A. Herbal Minerals Signature Herbs & Spices

• 1 tsp turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory)

• 1 tsp smoked paprika (Southern flavor base)

• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp oregano

• 2 bay leaves

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley (added at the end for brightness)

• 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt (adjust to taste)

Directions:

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened (about 5 minutes).

2. Transfer veggies to your crockpot.

3. Add lentils, sweet potato, bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and all herbs/spices (except parsley).

4. Pour in broth, stir well, and tuck in bay leaves.

5. Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until lentils and veggies are tender.

6. Stir in apple cider vinegar before serving.

7. Remove bay leaves, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and adjust seasoning.

8. Add Sea Moss Gel Directly: Toward the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir 2–3 tablespoons of our signature Gold Sea Moss Gel right into the crockpot.

   • It will naturally thicken the broth, give a silky smooth texture, and add its 92+ minerals without altering the soup’s Southern flavor.

   • Bonus: It also boosts digestibility and makes it feel extra nourishing.
