Vegan Lentil Soup
This Organic Vegan Lentil Soup recipe is nut free, soy free, gluten free, meat free & dairy free. Hard? No way, just don’t quit all of the diet restrictions cold turkey and all at once. Take your time and find the diet that works best for you! Believe you me, you can be a very unhealthy vegetarian, vegan….and so on. Make sure your body is getting what it needs and try to stay away from things that nutritionally aren’t good for you. It took me years to find a healthy balance!
This Organic Vegan Lentil Soup is ahh-maze-ing when you’re sick… or if you are in any kind of cold weather… or for any-dang-time. This is one of those wonderful vegan meals that anyone can enjoy because it’s super thick, filling and nutritionally satisfying. Your body will check off all of the things it needs so your friend who can’t live without meat won’t even notice that it’s vegan. Sometimes I like those fancy, light, little vegan meals that cost too much but when I personally cook for others, I like to serve hearty vegan food that anyone could love.
