Sweet Potato, Carrot, Apple & Lentil Soup

This is a modified recipe because I wanted to use jars of baby food. Original recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sweet-Potat....oup/Detail.aspx

Sweet Potato, Carrot, Apple & Lentil Soup
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Onion, chopped into little bits
4 (4 oz) jars sweet potato baby food
2 (4 oz) jars carrot baby food
1 (4 oz) jar applesauce baby food
4 (2.5 oz) jars Chicken & Broth/Gravy baby food**
1/2 c. lentils (red are better, but the brown ones will work just fine)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
3 c. water**
plain yogurt

* = WIC Ingredient
**If the idea of cooking with the chicken baby food grosses you out, just use 3 c. chicken broth

Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a pot. Add the onions, stir and cook until translucent.
2. Add jars of baby food, lentils, spices, and water. Bring soup to a boil and then simmer covered until the lentils are soft, approx. 30-45 minutes.
3. (Optional) If you don't like the texture of lentils, puree soup using either a blender or a stick blender. Add additional water if needed to reach desired consistency.
4. To serve, fill a bowl with soup then garnish with a scoop of yogurt.
