Italian Lentil Soup, vegan/gluten free
This week's recipe goes with last week's blog post about fiber. Lentils are a great source of fiber. This is a delicious way to get them into your diet!
I've wanted to make a lentil soup for the blog for a long time but have put it off because I don't have a lot of experience cooking lentils. I was very pleased with the results of this recipe, super yummy and also freezable for batch cooking.
Keep in mind I like my soups like stew, super thick, so just add more water/veggie broth for your desired thickness.
