It’s cold out there! It’s even snowing in Florida. It’s kind of crazy. Although this might not be a great day for a walk outside, it is the perfect day to have a cozy day inside our (hopefully) warm house with some cozy lentil soup recipes.
Making a hot soup not only fills you up inside but also makes your house smell cozy and warm. I love having hot soup on the stove when it’s cold outside.
There is something so satisfying and nurturing about cooking and serving my family a hot pot of soup.
I enjoy making all kinds of soups that will fill my family up and aren’t too expensive.
Lentils are a great source of protein. When compared to other beans, only soybeans contain more protein. When you mix lentils with a whole grain, lentils have the same amount of protein as meat but are more heart-healthy. (Source)
