This is our favorite lentil soup recipe. I make it whenever we need some healthy comfort food. It’s savory, satisfying, and utterly delicious. I like fresh lemon in this soup and serve it with slices of lemon. You don’t eat the lemon slices. They are there for more flavor and show lemon has been added to the soup.
