Recipe

Lentil Soup

There is nothing that I love more for lunch than a nice big bowl of delicious soup. This week I made a batch of lentil soup to pack for lunches and I’ve been loving it everyday. Not only is it tasty and healthy (lentils are high in protein!), but its also inexpensive and easy to make. You can make this vegetarian-friendly by using vegetable broth, but I went with chicken broth because it was what I had on hand. The spices makes this a great dish, but without being too overpowering.
