"If there's one food that always satisfies, it's a great lentil soup. Lentils are one of nature's wonders: they're full of protein, shelf stable for years, inexpensive, and delicious. So here's one of my favorite ways to use them: this simple red lentil soup! While my most "famous" lentil recipe is this 7 ingredient lentil soup, I love this red lentil soup because it's even quicker!"
"Lightning-fast cooking time: This soup takes only 25 minutes (crazy, right?). It's perfect for busy weeknights when you need a healthy dinner on the table quickly. Plant-based protein: Red lentils pack about 18 grams of protein per cup, making this a filling vegan dinner. Pantry-friendly ingredients: The recipe uses lentils, vegetable broth, and common spices, so you can make it anytime without a special shopping trip!"
Simple red lentil soup cooks in 25 minutes using aromatic vegetables, smoked paprika, and bright lemon zest. Aromatic vegetables—carrots, onion, celery, garlic—are sautéed in olive oil to build a flavorful base. Split red lentils, vegetable broth, and water simmer together until the lentils are tender and the soup thickens. Smoked paprika contributes a deep, smoky flavor that creates the impression of long simmering. Lemon zest adds freshness and balance. Red lentils provide roughly 18 grams of protein per cup, making the soup filling and protein-rich. The recipe uses pantry staples, is inexpensive, and works well for busy weeknight family dinners.
