Lentil Soup Recipe

You know those days when all you want is a big bowl of something warm, comforting, and nourishing? For me, that’s when this lentil soup recipe swoops in and saves the day. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and packed with protein—plus, it’s one of those dishes that just gets better the next day. Trust me, it’s a total crowd-pleaser whether you’re cooking for your family or just your hungry self.

I first made this red lentil soup back in college when my bank account was crying, and my stomach was growling. I had a bag of lentils, a few sad-looking carrots, and some spices—and somehow, magic happened. Over the years, I’ve tweaked it, adding a bit of this and a pinch of that. Now? It’s my signature winter warmer.
