Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup

My love for Soup is eternal and with roughly 7 ingredients Lentil is one of the easiest soups to make. It’s a great source of plant protein and makes awesome leftovers. You can create an entirely new dish by pouring it over rice, pasta or even a sweet potato! I love the fresh Parsley as a green but feel free to get creative and add things like spinach or kale. This is a great Soup to have in your arsenal of easy and comforting recipes.
