This soup recipe was a long time coming! Over the years, I made some lackluster lentil soups that never saw the light of day on this website. No vegetarian food blog would be complete without a proper lentil soup, though, so I perfected one of my own.
Here it is. My lentil soup is made with mostly pantry ingredients but includes hearty greens and a squeeze of lemon for bright, fresh flavor. It’s seasoned with a few of my favorite spices and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Honestly, it’s the best lentil soup I’ve ever had.
The original title of this recipe was “Spiced Vegan Lentil Soup,” which is accurate, but a mouthful. With over 500 five-star reviews, I think it’s safe to call this the Best Lentil Soup. Period.
Whether you’re looking to lighten up your meals or warm up with a steaming bowl of soup, this healthy lentil soup recipe is for you! It’s one of my all-time favorites and I hope it becomes a staple in your kitchen as well.
How to Make the Best Lentil Soup
Five reasons to love this recipe:
- The recipe calls for seasonal vegetables and affordable pantry ingredients, but tastes gourmet.
- This lentil soup has an amazing hearty texture that’s lightly creamy (yet there is no cream). The trick is to blend up a portion of the soup once the lentils are tender, and then pour it back into the pot. It’s like magic.
- This nutritious, well-balanced soup counts as a meal if you enjoy a generous portion. Lentils are rich in protein, fiber, iron and folate.
- Lentil soup packs well for lunch in a leak-proof container, and it tastes even better the next day.
- This soup freezes and defrosts well. Make soup now and enjoy it later!

This simple vegan lentil soup recipe comes together quickly with mostly pantry ingredients. Be sure to have your ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking! Recipe yields four large bowls of soup, or six more modest servings.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 large can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, lightly drained
- 1 cup brown or green lentils, picked over and rinsed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup chopped fresh collard greens or kale, tough ribs removed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice (½ to 1 medium lemon), to taste
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. One-fourth cup olive oil may seem like a lot, but it adds a lovely richness and heartiness to this nutritious soup.
- Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and carrot and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, curry powder and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often, in order to enhance their flavor.
- Pour in the lentils, broth and the water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
- Transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender. Securely fasten the lid, protect your hand from steam with a tea towel placed over the lid, and purée the soup until smooth. Pour the puréed soup back into the pot. (Or, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup.)
- Add the chopped greens and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the greens have softened to your liking. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice until the flavors really sing. For spicier soup, add another pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
- Serve while hot. Leftovers will keep well for about 4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for several months (just defrost before serving).

Aimee
I made this for my neighbor who was burning the candle at both ends, trying to get his PODS packed for his big move. He absolutely loved it!!!
Per my Daughter’s request, I am making it tonight for supper
Sandra
I have made this soup countless times, it’s by far the BEST lentil soup I’ve made – thank you so much for this recipe! I am 5 months postpartum and nursing and always so hungry and this soup is perfect – plus I triple the recipe each time so I can cook less and freeze some. I basically have been living off this soup. And I’ve had a bunch of house guests who I end up serving it to and they all love it. I’ve made quite a few of your recipes and I’ve never been disappointed- you’re my favorite food blogger hands down!
Kate
Congratulations, Sandra! I’m glad this soup is helping to provide nourishment for you and your baby. Thank you for taking time to review!
Joy
This turned out great, very flavorful and comforting. Perfect meal on a chilly fall day. I didn’t have curry powder so substituted garam masala and it worked well. Thanks!
Kim Sperling
This is the best lentil soup by far. The cumin and curry take this soup to a whole new lentil soup level. Thank you for sharing
Pamela Richardson
I have a really good lentil soup recipe but this was wonderful and my husband loved it. Thank you!!
Kate
You’re welcome!
Liisa
This is a wonderful recipe. Thank you!
The only sub I made was added spinach. A welcome meal on a chilly evening! Delicious!
Birdie
I’ve never left any review for a recipe before but honestly, this soup is probably one of the best soups I’ve ever tasted. Definitely the most delicious recipe I’ve ever tried. I’ve made it twice in the past two weeks, I just finished off a pot of it and I’m already craving more. So simple, so cheap, so amazing. It’s perfect in every way.
Kate
I’m so glad you left a review! Thank you for sharing.
Joe Spaziani
Excellent flavor and easy to make! Loved it. Used spinach instead of kale but I’m sure any leafy green would have worked well. I recall that my grandmother would sometimes use dandelion greens in her soups. Thank You!
K1wI Knord
I grew up on hambone lentil soup. I forgot to get ham last shopping trip. Decided to try this recipe, It’s wonderful. It’s somehow both light and bright tasting while being filling and hearty. This will defiantly enter into my goto recipes.
Helen
I liked this soup and my husband did too. The key is the broth. I used a rotisserie chicken carcass to try to make good broth with a bunch of veggies boiled for 1 1/2 hrs and I still ended up adding some Knorr. I haven’t really found the trick to doing it well. Nice hearty soup. Added rotisserie chicken at the end. Thanks!
Hannah
Kate, this was delightful.
I doubled the recipe to have leftovers and cooked it as written, apart from slightly reducing the oil, offsetting the tomatoes’ acidity with some brown sugar, replacing the kale with frozen spinach, and using up several tablespoons of whole wheat penne I had lying around. Although I am usually not fond of curry, it blends perfectly with the other spices and gives the recipe some warm depth.
The meal worked so well that my family described it as “unbelievably delicious.” Needless to say, there were no leftovers. Thank you for all that you do.
Katie
So good! I’ve made this several times already in the past month, and it tastes even better on the second and third day (if it lasts that long!). I also appreciate how it’s easy to make and doesn’t require too much chopping. Thanks for another great soup recipe!
Marie Louise
We’re not vegetarian, but I try to slip in meals like this, once in awhile. My culinary audience? A clown-show of 4 teens, on both ends of the spectrum–from one upset by the carbon footprint of meat, to those who would eat meat exclusively. I just made this and WOW! Delighted even my most finicky eater! I’ve used Alton Brown’s lentil soup recipe, a NYT recipe and the results were fine, but no rave reviews. This is truly delightful and the perfect dinner, for post-Halloween candy-binging! Thank you, for another great recipe!
Sydney Poll Calvo
Your comment has made me very happy.
Trish Mooney
Extremely flavorful, super healthy and easy to make. Thank you!
Anamika Zahid Savani
Can I use Indian Mix Dal instead of the recommended lentils?
Kate
Hi, I’m not sure how that would turn out as I haven’t tried it myself. Sorry to not be of more help!
jane
Hi…I add yellow dal to lots of recipes,including lentil soup
they add a thickening to soups to say nothing of great nutrition and lower calories than lentils..they aren’t as dense, take less time to cook…i may try them in a cauliflower, cheese soup I plan to make, as well as a Mexican garbonzo bean soup I make…go for it it..dal is so healthy and versatile! janieben, Honolulu
Stephanie
Soo delicious ! Thanks .
Kathy
Delicious, but why drain the tomatoes, when you’re just going to add water? I put the tomato juice in with the tomatoes and lessened the amount of water. Also used some vinegar since I didn’t have a lemon.
mark
right!!?? i thought the same thing….. don’t drain all that good tomato juice, use it :)
Marie
This is seriously the BEST soup ever! I’ve made it dozens and dozens of times and it never disappoints. The soup is super rich in flavors, it’s inexpensive to make, super nutritious, and really healthy. The whole family loves it, including my two year old, which is definitely a plus.
Kate
I’m glad you think so, Marie! Thank you for your review.
Rachel
This really is the BEST lentil soup recipe. I’ve made it a few times and often requested by my 12-year-old vegetarian. I’ve been known to eat this for breakfast! Thank you for creating and sharing your recipes. I’ve tried quite a few of them and they are easy to follow, healthy and flavourful, some of which are true favourites with my family such as this lentil soup.
Mari. P.
My favorite lentils soup! Flavourful and healthy!
Tamar
This soup is amazing! I made it on the first rainy day we had and it was perfect with the cold weather. It’s the kind of soup that you could incorporate any wintery vegetable and it would taste good, I added some potatoes. My partner and I had three bowls each!
Jennifer Holman
My vegetarian daughter-in-law is allergic to the proteins in meat products. And being from Puerto Rico, she hasn’t had an opportunity to try lentil soup until I made your recipe. Her amazement at the robust flavor and textures was heart lifting to witness.
Amanda
Wow! I just made it and can’t get enough it is the yummiest soup ever!
Only change I made was adding a leek at the beginning as I didn’t have kale. Oh and red lentils as that was all I had!
Bob T
Great recipe, well balanced flavors. highly recommended, I did make minor tweaks to my personal preferences- reduced tomatoes by half, no salt added, extra garlic, added a stalk of celery and slightly reduced the oil.
We really enjoyed this
Chrissie Chadney
This soup is superb! A real meal and seriously healthy. Just been told my bloods all wrong and possible NAFLD. So wanted fibre, legumes and to get away from the Keto with probably too high fat which I have been on for 5 months. This is truly delicious and I’ll happily have it once a day. Thank you
Aura
I never cook lentil soup because my daughter’s Greek grandmother makes it all the time, and I don’t want to over-lentil my kid. But move over Yaya, ’cause this actually is THE BEST lentil soup ever!
T
Really good! Also, my favorite food blogger :)
Kate
Thank you! That’s so kind I’m happy you love this soup, T.
Rich
This is a staple in my house now. I have a freezer full. Can’t live without it.
Cathy
This was Amazing! My lebanese husband was very impressed thanks for the recipe!
Ruth
This is THE best lentil soup I’ve ever had! Even hubby who claims to “hate lentils” said it was really good, and there’s never been any leftovers! That’s the highest praise there is! Thanks for such a great recipe – I’ve literally never left a review for a recipe before but this earned one! Truly! 5 stars all the way!!!
sara
I have made this soup before (several times) and loved it! I have used fire roasted canned tomatoes and added a little jalapeno as well!
Any tips for (or perhaps folks don’t suggest) making this in a crockpot?
Kate
Hi! I haven’t tried it in a crockpot so I can’t speak to that method. I would suggest seeing what others recommend, Sara.
Melody
Excellent!!! I made this twice added some jalapeño, red pepper and smoked paprika and submitted kale with spinach the soup disappeared once done!! Great recipe to tinker around with!!
Joanna
This soup was fantastic ! I omitted the onion and garlic because of my IBS , but it was still perfect. I subbed spinach for kale and added a sprinkle of Parmesan at serving ! My vegetarian ( picky ) daughter Loved it!! Will be in the regular rotation
Donna Chesborough
The name is correct – it is the BEST!!!
Kate
Hooray! I’m happy you think so, Donna.
Amanda Webster
Wine pairing? Love the soup and would like to serve for family.
Rosemary
Thank you for tonight’s delicious dinner! Simple. Easy. Nutritious. Followed per your instructions with spinach substitute. Loved it!
Debbie
I made this today…delicious‼️❣‼️
Michael Tolda
I realize that tastes are subjective. So, having said that, I followed this recipe precisely and found it wanting. Too much diced tomatoes and a bit heavy on the curry IMHO. I prefer a simpler lentil soup recipe that isn’t dominated by tomatoes and excessive spices.
Kate
I’m sorry you didn’t love this one, Michael.
Deborah
This is literally the best lentil soup I’ve had. I use red lentils instead of green and added kale at the end. Superb..
Jessica
I made this soup for the first time last night. This recipe is perfect! The idea of blending a portion of the soup is pure genius. I served it over plain basmati rice and it was divine.
I have lots left over in the freezer, but I can see myself making this again!
Only addition I would make is that I used canned lentils instead of dry so I added them in the last ~5 minutes of cooking and would recommend the same for others.
(I also substituted curry powder for tumeric by mistake, I used sriracha instead of red chili flakes, and added a can of tomato paste along with two roma tomatoes — everything still turned out really yummy.)
Tammy
I made this today for lunch for all the kiddos and they initially thought it was bland so I added another round of the seasonings to their delight. They all had 2 servings and I loved it.
Kate
I love that! Thank you for sharing, Tammy.
Lisa
I made this soup over the weekend. It was FANTASTIC!!! My only regret is that I didn’t double the recipe! It was amazing the way the whole pot just woke up and popped with the addition of the lemon juice at the end. Really great! Thanks!
Renay
This has become my go-to lentil soup recipe!! Even better than most lentil soups in restaurants
Liz
So delicious!
Harry
Not only the best lentil soup, the best soup ever. So much flavour and its healthy!
Judy
This is now my favourite lentil soup recipe – delicious and healthy!
bp
Excellent recipe. We began by frying a 1-1/2 pound ham hock with the onions then added fresh oregano and rosemary from the garden and We always add an extra cup or two of liquid because I prefer the broth. Long ago we learned its best to let stews and soup rest for a few hours before serving because it enhances the flavor even more. The cumin, crushed pepper and curry give the Lintels a decent ‘bite’ and excellent flavor.
Catherine
Made this for dinner and its delicious!! Tripled the kale, and added half before simmering. Used a little lime juice instead of lemon. Paired it with brown rice. Will definitely be on my dinner rotation.
Andrea
This looks so delicious and hearty! Do you think I could put some cabbage in, instead of kale/collared greens? I don’t have greens on hand but have a ton of cabbage to use up. Thanks so much!
Kate
Hi! I haven’t tried it with cabbage, but it may work just fine. Let me know what you think!
Lauren
First time leaving a recipe review but this one was worth it! I’ve been coming back to this recipe for over a year and it’s still just as good as the first time! I like to add a bay leaf and some celery but this is perfect as is. Even had non vegetarians give rave reviews. Thank you!
Natalie
This is the best soup I’ve ever made – and I’ve made many! The squeeze of lemon at the end elevates the flavors brilliantly. Thank you!
Steve
This is the first time I have made lentil soup. It was absolutely amazing and I am looking forward to making it again. The only thing I did differently is I cut the salt in half and added a 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice in the bowl three ladles full. Such a fantastic recipe and I appreciate you sharing it!
Paul Taylor
Ideal name for the recipe since it genuinely is the best lentil soup I ever tried! Dead serious. I was getting tired of my traditional recipes for lentil soup and typed a search into the browser for the best lentil soup and my search steered me to you. I think the secret is your instruction to remove and blend a good portion of it and add it once again. Blending it, both released a ton of flavors instantly and also gave it that velvety/creamy texture. Amazing!
Lisa
This was awesome! I’m glad I doubled the recipe. Served it with a nice crusty bread. Yummy
Angel
Dear Kate, I think your blog is one of my most favorite things on the internet. We love your perfectly named Best Lentil Soup. It is one of the few recipes my husband chooses to cook on his nights and it is so delicious every time. We are slowly transitioning to a plant based diet and your recipes have made the process so much tastier than I thought it could be. I am so grateful for you!
Rebecca
It was a wonderful combination of flavors – probably the best lentil soup I have ever had, and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing!
Kim Sperling
This is the best lentil soup by far. The cumin and curry take this soup to a whole new lentil soup level. Thank you for sharing
Sherry
Lental soup came out great I had a ripe avocado that I couldn’t use so I added it to the two cups of blended soup and it made it so creamy
Donna
Kate, every recipe that I have tried from you website has been nothing short of fabulous!!! Another 5+ star recipe! I must say that I typically use minimal oil and decided to try an “almost” 1/4 cup. As you mentioned, it does add depth to this soup! Keep the vegetarian recipes coming!
Kate
Thank you, Donna! I’m so excited you love this one and other recipes. I appreciate your review!
Mary
Kate,
I’m on my third batch of this soup since August. It really is the BEST lentil soup. I’ve served it to several friends and frozen many individual servings and enjoyed them over time. I serve it alone, with gluten free corn bread, and with my own fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches (grilled onions, tomato slice, GF bread)!
I’ve signed up for your newsletter to find more great recipes.
Thanks
Mary B
Alice
I added some freshly grated ginger and some red radishes and had marjoram instead of thyme and it turned out very nice. Wonderfully creamy and warming. :)
Aisling
This was my first time making this. It was gorgeous. When it was gone, everyone was looking for more. Will be making a double batch tomorrow.
Thank You.
Lettie McGee
Excellent recipe. I followed the instructions to the letter and it was just the best lentil soup I’ve ever had in my life. I ate some for breakfast and another big bowl for lunch. Thanks, for such a great recipe.
Kate
You’re welcome, Lettie! I appreciate your review.
Ianthe Haloftis
This lentil soup is so delicious! This is my third time making it and I’m patiently awaiting for it to be done cooking. My house smells AMAZING!
Leah
So tasty!! I didn’t have curry on hand and it was still very flavorful. It did take about 20 minutes longer to cook the lentils for some reason.
Kate
I’m sorry to hear it took longer, but glad you loved it!
Smita
Made this for dinner today and it’s so far the best lentil soup i have made and had (including restaurants) . My husband who is not so into whole grains said : you must do this often, it’s the best ☺️
thank you for the recipe
Nancy
IT IS THE BEST!
Hubby says, “But I don’t like lentils.” I say, “But Kate says it’s the best.”
Hubby tries it and is a convert! He LOVED it, and more importantly, so did I. We will return to this recipe all winter long. So healthy and delicious. Thanks, Kate (and Cookie).
Kate
I love that! Thank you for letting me know, Nancy.
Amberlee Himebaugh
This soup is excellent. I like to use it as a way to use up random vegetables in the fridge – tonight I’m making it with the called for vegetables, along with a couple stalks of celery, half of a yellow bell pepper, and some zucchini. When I add additional vegetables, I cover completely to simmer to prevent it from becoming too thick. Great recipe, thank you!
Mags
This soup is amazing! I’ve been serving it over white rice to make it a meal for myself. I feel like I have been looking for this recipe for quite a while now. Thank you for posting it.
Janet Clark
I forgot to put in the greens and the lemon at the end, but it didn’t matter. This soup was so flavorful and my husband loved it!! I’ll definitely make it again w/ all the ingredients!
Peggy
My go to lentil soup! So tasty and a great way to use up those CSA greens! I often serve with a corn muffin or a slice of buttered sourdough toast on the side!
Tiffany
I love this soup and make it all the time! My family and BF love it too.
I finally just looked at the rest of your site and wow, I am very impressed! Not sure which recipe I will try next! Maybe a salad or dessert…or the minestrone soup looks really good!
Aubree
I don’t know how to convey how DELICIOUS this recipe is. We made it in our cast iron Dutch oven, and when making a soup a few days later, I could still smell this one, and wished I was making it again. This will be a staple from now on!
Kerstin
Brings back memories of Mother’s cooking. Thank you for reminding us how to cook healthy during this time.
Anjum
This was the second time I made this and we loved it. It’s very flavorful. I skimped on curry powder as it normally over powers other flavors, but next time I will add the recommended quantity. I used to make a cream based lentil soup before, but I like this one better.
Kate
Wonderful! Thank you for letting me know, Anjum!
Alex
So good! My cousin is having a baby this week, so I made a batch and froze it for her to grab as an easy lunch. Made some for me too… cause delicious, and soup season!
Eleanor
To this I have added a can of coconut milk and created a creamy and dreamy mix of flavours. Works very well for the vegan in my family who won’t use cow cream.
Florie
Soooo good. Best lentil soup I’ve ever made. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and my kids loved it.
Veronica Uzar
Can I make this in an instapot? For digestive reasons, I have read that that is the best way to cook lentils
Kate
Hi Veronica, I don’t have instant pot directions for it. But, I believe others have if tried it if you would like to checkout the comments.
Karina Marcoux
Delicious ! A family staple. Second time I did it I Didn’t have any lentils on hand and substituted for red kidney beans and it was still delicious!
Kelly
This was so flavorful and easy to pull together. Everyone in our house loved it, including my 5 year old. I didn’t add red pepper due to the 5 year old and it was still yummy. Don’t skip the fresh lemon juice.
Elise Schaefer
I made your recipe and my husband loves…. it he is of German background and says it reminds him of his late mother’s cooking!! Definitely a winner. So tasty thankyou for sharing!!
Kate
Wonderful, Elise! I appreciate your review.
Marie Smith
My soup was fabulous. Thank you for a low fat, tasty and good for you soup. Love it.
MM
Delicious soup. I never post comments & it’s so good I had to this time. I used red lentils and chicken stock (obviously we’re not vegan). I had baby spinach in the fridge so used that. It was fabulous. Only change I’d make would be to double greens.
Kate
I’m so glad you did, MM! I appreciate you taking time to review.
April
I made this tonight and it was fantastic! The only substitution made was chicken broth for veggie broth because that’s what I had. Will make this again.
Stephanie
This is a great recipe! I’m making it two days in a row. Very tasty and fulfilling.,
Cass
Made this soup tonight and it was delicious and easy! Will definitely make again :)
Denise
Best lentil soup ever!
Karen
Hi! I’m not a huge lentil fan but make something with them once or twice a year…. I decided today was the day and I found your recipe. I really like it – though I did make some changes. I added a full extra tablespoon each of garlic, cumin, and curry to the recipe – and included some zucchini, mushrooms, and a tad bit of broccoli as I wanted to use them up. I cooked it for 13 minutes in my Instant Pot and then let it slow release for 20. It’s really yummy – and to prove it – I got out a recipe card and copied it for future use. Thanks so much.
Kate
Thanks so much for sharing your version, Karen! Sounds great.
JR
How do you define a serving.
Kate
Hi RJ, the soup yields 4 large bowls or 6 more modest bowls (quite a lot of soup, really). If you’re asking in regard to the nutrition information, one serving is one-fourth of the recipe (guessing that would be about 2 1/2 cups).
Rosa VandenHoogen
This is the first time I’ve made lentil soup
My grandson always says”Oma,your house always smells so good”
I’m certain he’d definitely say that today as the smell and flavour is remarkable
Thank you
Kate
Love it! Thank you, Rosa. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Susan
This soup is amazing! My husband loved it and he is a meat and potatoes guy. I followed the recipe exactly, but I had organic red lentils on hand so used those.
This is a keeper! Forwarded the recipe to my daughter and some friends;)
Babs
Just made and eaten this delicious soup, my husband and like it very much!
We will be making, and freezing it often
Thank you Kathryne
Sylvia Dooling
This has become a favorite after making it only once!! Making it again today and again appreciating all the spices and process. Don’t have a blender but just hand beat a portion-turned out great!
Thanks!
Meghan
Absolutely amazing!
Anna
I love the mix of spices, but with all the ingredients combined, this soup is easy to make and is absolutely delicious! My family loves it!
Kate
Wonderful, Anna!
Anne Ragozzino
This recipe is terrific! I did add celery just because I love it. Otherwise followed exactly. I’m looking forward to leftovers!
Kate
Thank you, Anne! I’m happy you think so.
Praise the Lord
Easy, nutritious, and so magically delicious
Gaile Lawlor
Holy moly, fantastic flavours! As a Scot lentil soup is an absolute staple, and THIS recipe is hands down the best I’ve tasted! (sorry Mum )
Thank you
Olga
This is the first time when I write feedback to a recipe. I’m eating this soup right now and I cooked it 4 days ago. This soup is fantastic, it is low-carb and I adore every bit of it.
I cooked it in the pressure cooker and had 1.5 of lentils indicated in the recipe, and I added frozen spinach to it after the soup was cooked. This is SO SO SO SO SO TASTY. I am impressed deeply, especially taking into account that I don’t like curry at all. I am so glad I cooked it, bless you the recipe creater!
Cindy
This recipe is literally perfect! It is so easy and healthy and tastes fabulous! Made it again today and this is probably my 4th or 5th time. We love this soup and it makes enough to have leftovers for a couple days! Woo hoo! Thank u!!
Nicola
I have a go to lentil soup recipe that I’ve made for years, so I was a bit nervous to give this a try. However I can vouch that the recipe lives up to its name … this is the best lentil soup!! This is our new favorite to be made for years to come.
