Chickpea Lentil Veggie Soup (DF, GF)

This is REALLY good.  The dates give it a nice flavor !

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp minced jar garlic

1 onion, chopped

1 can tomatoes (I used the liquid) 

2 cans chickpeas (I used the liquid)

1 can lentils (I used the liquid)

12-oz package frozen broccoli/cauliflower mix

12-oz package frozen sliced carrots 

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground turmeric

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp black pepper

========

2 cups water or veggie broth

1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut  (I use Bob's Red Mill)

3 large dates, pitted

Directions:
Blend water or veggie broth, coconut and dates in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Put everything in a crockpot and cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until done.

My favorite food processor is the  KitchenAid  7-Cup Food Processor. 

For blenders, I use both the  Vitamix Blender and Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender
