I've got a couple. This one is actually from a Weight Watchers Cookbook, but would, I believe, qualify:
Dal is an Indian dish usually made with lentils. It is sometimes served as a soup and sometimes as a side dish or condiment to complement a buffet or other Indian foods.
Makes 8 servings
1 lb red lentils, picked over and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 T grated fresh ginger
1 T canola oil
2 t ground cumin
2 t ground coriander
1/2 t ground turmeric (optional)
1 t salt (to taste)
4c low sodium vegetable (or chicken) broth
2 c water
In a slow cooker, place the lentils, garlic, onions, carrots, ginger, oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric and salt. Pour in the broth and water; stir to combine. Cover and cook on low until the lentils are soft and the vegetable tender, 9-10 hours

Notes: I had not fresh ginger, so I put in what seemed like an appropriate amount of dried, ground ginger. It didn't ruin the soup, anyhow. I also started this at about 5pm and cooking it on the stove, it is ready in a little less than an hour. You just make it like a regular soup: saute the vegetables in the oil, add the lentils, spices and broth/water and cook until it turns into mush. I also added chopped green peppers and would like to use peppers with a little more kick next time.
