1/3 Cup Lentils
1 Large Stalk of Broccoli

In a medium saucepan add the lentils, boullion, and cut stem of the broccoli to the pot. Include 1.5 Cups of Water.

Cook until the lentils are done. Appx 20 minutes.

During this time cut the broccoli tops into small pieces, shred the carrots, wait patiently.

Blend the cooked lentils and broccoli stems until fully smooth. (Add water to get things spinning, if needed)

Replace in the sauce pan, add broccoli tops, shredded carrots, turmeric (just a bit), garlic powder (enough), salt, and pepper (to taste).

Include the milk and to create the desired consistency add water, if needed.

Let simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until broccoli tops are tender.
