This Damn Good Vegan Lentil Soup is the best lentil soup recipe you'll ever make! A hearty lentil soup made with an abundance of veggies, a flavorful blend of spices, and plenty of lemon juice for light, bright flavor. As far as lentils go, be sure to use brown or green lentils, which both hold their shape nicely and won't disintegrate into mush as the soup simmers. It's easy to make (requiring hardly any active cooking time), perfect for meal prep, and so warming and filling. The perfect cozy plant-based meal for winter. I have a feeling you're going to love this cozy soup just as much as we do! Happy cooking! ♡
