EASY LENTIL SOUP

Easy Lentil Soup

It’s always soup season! Lentil soup is one of my favourite and so easy to make. This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. It’s so yummy and packed with plant-based protein from the lentils.

P.S. Don’t skimp on the fresh lemon squeeze! It truly makes all the difference.
