Lentil Brown Rice Soup is hearty and comforting, and at the same time very healthy.
Soup is the best meal on a cold day and a vegan, gluten free soup is a great option for fall eating.
Lentils and brown rice are both great ingredients that contain lots of fiber to keep you full. When added to this veggie packed soup with lots of herbs, they are the perfect combination.
Lentil Brown Rice Soup makes a great meatless dinner or healthy meal prep for lunch. You can make a batch and freeze what ever you don’t eat at once, in a freezer container for 2-3 months.
Healthy soups provide a great balance as the holiday’s approach. If you want some other soup options to try, check out Vegetable Quinoa Soup, Chickpea Vegetable Soup, Turnip Crispy Kale Soup, Tuscan Bean Soup, and Lentil Soup.
