1. Once lentils are soft, pour 2 cups of lentil soup into a tall container and blend with a stick blender. Add additional water/breastmilk or formula to thin it out if necessary. Then pour into a ice cube tray and freeze until ready to feed. Thaw in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring between until you get your desired temperature.

1. Add vegetable broth, salt to taste, garam masala, red chili powder, and chopped kale/spinach to the rest of the lentil soup. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. You can either blend this with a stick/immersion blender until it is smooth, or enjoy it while chunky! Enjoy!
