Get Well Soon Lentil Soup

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I love creating easy, yummy soups as they are the perfect option for a quick lunch or dinner as well as the optimal meal prep item. Just pair with a crusty piece of bread or a nice green salad to round out your meal! I created this soup because my love, Carl was under the weather and I wanted to make something that would warm him up and make him feel better! This soup has all the healthy ingredients to fill you up with the lentils and beans as well as the kale that I wilt in at the end! Lot’s of carrots and celery along with some diced tomatoes bulk up the soup even more. The key to this soup is the spice mixture I came up with that includes, smoked paprika, cumin and turmeric along with some other pantry staples. Turmeric has healing properties and is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The spices paired so well with all the goodies in this soup. It was very easy to throw together and cooked up in 30 minutes. You don’t have to wait until you’re sick to give this D to the LISH pot of goodness a try!

Notes

  • You control the heat in this soup by how much cayenne you add. Keep it at 1/4 tsp if you want subtle heat and use 1/2 tsp if you want a mild, runny nose. LOL! I love the heat as it adds additional warmth to this already delish soup!
  • Any type of bean you want to add to this soup would be great! Make it your own!
