Double Lentil & Sweet Potato Soup

This crock pot recipe calls for red and brown/green lentils, making it twice as delicious! It also calls for Berbere curry powder which is an Ethiopian type of curry. Full of flavor, spice and intensity. Start with 1 tsp and increase from there since some brands are spicier than others. Regular curry powder will work too, though you may want to add some cayenne as well. I used spinach here but you can use any type of green.
