Golden Lentil Soup

Golden Lentil Soup

This Golden Lentil Soup is a soup that can be enjoyed year-round. Red lentils do not take that long to cook, and the only chopping required is the onion and garlic. This is a nutrient-dense and flavor-packed soup that cooks up fast and delicious!


Golden Lentil Soup

I adapted this recipe from Oh She Glows. Her recipes and photography are perfection. I did change a few things in this soup, just because I have never enjoyed cinnamon in savory dishes.

Golden Lentil Soup

This soup is not a heavy soup. Red lentils cook up light and fluffy and fast! I love the balance of the coconut milk with the heat from the cayenne pepper, but you can simply leave out the cayenne pepper if you do not enjoy spicy food.

This soup is a great healthy meal for your family! And it just so happens to be vegan-friendly!
