On cold winter days, I crave me some lentil soup.
Think filling, warm, nourishing, soothing…ahhhhh.
Plus the Red Lentil Soup is packed with tons of protein and fiber.
I slurped 2 bowls of the soup down for lunch. It’s really hard to work on portion size with this dish, but no worries. It’s nutrient dense which means you can’t over do it. Your cells will be rejoicing because it is so goooood.
Let’s make it shall we?
