With great spices, creaminess from the coconut milk, and protein from the lentils, this is a soup that eats like a meal!
I love cooking with legumes and an underrated one to cook with is the lentil. Red lentils are available in every grocery store, they are inexpensive, and PACKED with nutrition. In one cup of lentils there is 18g of protein and 16g dietary fibre!
