Lentil Soup with Lemon and Turmeric

Lentil Soup with Lemon and Turmeric

Prep:10minCook:50min

This is our favorite lentil soup recipe. I make this soup with lentils, carrots, turmeric, and fresh lemon whenever we are in need of some healthy comfort food. It’s savory, satisfying, and utterly delicious. I like quite a bit of fresh lemon in this soup and actually serve the soup with slices of lemon. This adds even more lemony flavor and shows that lemon was added to the soup.

The family liked it a lot. Personally I found it a bit of a let down, but I admit to not being the biggest fan of legumes in soups. It’s a decent vegetarian recipe though, and although I decided to use my immersion blender, I actually advise against it- it looks better without blending, and may taste better too.

So seriously good!

I’ve done the recipe countless times now as it became my boyfriend’s favorite soup. I started substituting and adding ingredients to make it our own though. This picture is what we thought was the best version of this soup and our “go to soup” with added chicken (dark), substitute lentils for mini gnocchi and kept the kale (wasn’t a fan of the spinach). I haven’t been able to make another type of soup in months because every time I say I want to make soup my boyfriend requests I make this one! If you love the taste of strong lemon, the left overs are even better!

Instead of carrots I used butternut squash and it was a perfect substitute!
