CURRIED PUMPKIN AND RED LENTIL SOUP

Today's post is brought to you from my insanely talented friend Jacqueline, one of the gals who work with me at Birds of a Feather and our friend Farra from Hostess Haven who jumped in to help with the styling.  Pretty much a dream team, those two!  Aren't these photos bananas gorgeous?  And this soup looks so hearty and filling, and packed with protein.  It's the kind of soup I would devour on a day I was feeling depleted and low energy, that I'm sure would boost me up and put me straight back to life!  I can't wait to make it!  xx- Sarah

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 32-oz. box of vegetable stock
