Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup

Are you up for a weekend project? Lentil Soup requires a bit of effort but you are going to end up with a lot of soup! Healthy soup that you can take for lunch next week. Loads of soup so you could freeze half and pull it some day that you do not want to cook!

This Lentil Soup is a hearty, vegan soup that is very flavorful and delicious. I was lucky enough to have a friend share this recipe with me and I make it non stop all winter long!

If you like tomato based vegan soups check out Mediterranean Vegetable Soup and Vegetable Quinoa Soup.

Notes

There are many types of lentils and they will cook and absorb liquid differently. It may be necessary to add more water to the soup at the end if it seems to be too thick.
