Vegan Lentil Cream Soup

Recipe Description

This Vegan Lentil Cream Soup is a hearty plant-based soup which tastes delicious and is full of nutritious ingredients! I use red lentils in this soup as they boil down to a really creamy thick puree. Did you know that not only are lentils easy to cook, but they are packed full of protein, iron, fibre and vitamins. It’s no wonder I try to incorporate them in as many weekday meals as I can.

This soup can be made in a one pot and will feed the whole family. Simply add the ingredients in stages and cook the vegetables before adding the lentils and stock. Once the lentils have softened, blend the soup and serve with delicious fresh bread on the side.

To make this Vegan Lentil Cream Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
