1 celery rib, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
5 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 can (13 1/2 ounce) coconut milk
1/2 cup brown lentils, picked over and rinsed

Steps:

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery and cook until onions are softened and just beginning to brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, tomato paste, curry powder, garam masala, 1 teaspoon salt, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker. Stir in chicken, coconut milk, and lentils. Cover and cook until chicken and lentils are tender, 4 to 5 hours on low. Let sit, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Using large spoon, skim fat from surface of soup. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste.
