Tasty Green Lentil Stew.....Dr. Ellouise Style!

I like split pea soup (which are actually green lentils) but I like this version even better! It can be made in the crockpot or on the stove. 1 package split peas (green lentils) 7 ribs of organic celery 4 organic carrots - shredded 1 organic onion - minced 2 cloves garlic - minced 8 organic potatoes - diced 2 Tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt (no MSG) 1 Tablespoon Cayenne (optional) Put split peas into a large pot. Cover them with distilled water to about 4 inches above the peas. Turn burner on medium high. Meanwhile, rinse the veggies in vegetable rinse and prepare as stated above. When the split peas are boiling, add the veggies and stir. Turn down heat to medium and cook until the peas are soft. I like mine very thick and I don't like the peas to have any individuality (I guess you could call that mushy) so I cook them a long time. If they get too thick, I just add water to them. Also, when reheating you will probably need to stir and add water if necessary. If you are using a crockpot: Heat the distilled water to boiling and put into the crockpot. Add all other ingredients and turn on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours. Some crockpots cook at a higher temperature so try it out to see how long it takes your crockpot to cook.
