Best Lentil Soup Recipe
I love this Best Lentil Soup recipe from Cookie and Kate! This simple soup recipe is plant-based, comes together quickly, and uses mostly pantry staples. You can swap fresh greens at the end for frozen if you don’t have fresh on hand.
This is a great meal option for the end of the week when you’re running low on fresh items, or to meal prep on the weekend and enjoy all week.
To make, you’ll sauté onion and carrot in oil until onion is translucent. You’ll then add garlic and spices before adding diced tomatoes, lentils, broth and water. You’ll bring the soup to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, then use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup. Lastly, you’ll add greens and lemon juice. Yum!
What you’ll Need:
-
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
-
1 medium yellow or white onion
-
2 carrots
-
4 garlic cloves
