VERY BEST LENTIL SOUP | vegetarian one-pot lentil soup recipe
Lentil soup is a classic vegetarian soup recipe. It's hearty, healthy, delightfully filling (with plant-based protein), and warming on those cold, wintery days. While there are many variations of lentil soup, you can't go wrong with a simple, Mediterranean version.
I always love an easy, one-pot soup recipe like this as it's easy to meal prep and reheat. It's perfect for lunch or dinner and it's naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free, making it perfect for almost all your guests!
