Lentils are one of the best choices for easy, healthy soups. Their mild flavor allows the fresh flavors of herbs and veggies to shine through while bulking up a simple soup and turning it into a hearty meal when matched with a crusty hunk of bread.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This is my new favorite Sunday meal prep! Delicious! Added extra spices for more flavor! Thanks!

  2. ambitioushippopotamus REVIEW:

    First time making this recipe and it turned out really well. I did have to add salt but the broth I used may have had less salt than other brands.

  3. Abir REVIEW:

    I am trying to be healthy and I am not used to it at all but this soup was yummy and easy to make. I substituted carrots by potatoes and used a maggie cube instead of veggie broth because it is not available where I live. The result was great and I really like this soup. Thanks for the recipe.
