Lentil and sweet potato soup

Description

The soup is simple and quick to prepare. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 7 cups of water and the lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and continue cooking, covered, until the lentils and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the green beans and tomatoes with their juice. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Serve the soup hot with yogurt.
