Winter Detox Moroccan Sweet Potato Lentil Soup (Slow Cooker)

Made this soup yesterday! The flavors were good, but I think I added too many lentils (I have a 4 quart crock pot- didnt think to reduce the lentil measurement haha) And I added waaaay to much lemon juice so it was really acidic. I will make it again. I’m sure if I get the ratios right it will taste waaay better.
