Vegetable Lentil Soup

Vegetable Lentil Soup is warm, comforting, and healthy. If you love healthy soup recipes, this one is for you. If you’re looking for something that will help you keep eating healthy even when you’re craving heavy comfort foods (whhhyyyy do you do this to us, winter?) then soup is your answer.

Not only is soup a warm, comforting, and satisfying meal, it also helps greatly when life gets busy. I will make huge, double batches of soup so I have quick and easy meals for those times during the week when I don’t have time to do anything more than heat up my food.

I don’t anticipate writing another cookbook anytime soon, but if I ever do, I’d love to write a soup cookbook. I have so much fun creating new soup recipes and I never get sick of eating soup! I will link more of my favorite healthy soup recipes below so you can have inspiration to keep new soups in your rotation all winter long!

I’d also love to know what other soup recipes you’d like to see, so let me know what I can create for you! Either comment here or on Facebook or Instagram.
