This cozy lentil soup can be made with lots of staple ingredients around the house if you are trying to minimize your travels to the grocery store, or just don’t feel like going out!
As we enter week 3 of self isolation, I have really been craving comforting meals. And also meals that are easy to make, and that don’t involve multiple parts. I love that this soup is a one bowl meal. It is packed with vegetables, providing you a hearty lunch or dinner. J even said I should enter this into a weekly rotation (despite it having zero meat!). It was delicious. I ended up serving mine with grilled naan bread to get some carbs in- that and I LOVE naan.
