Soup Recipes Easy Curried Lentil Soup
Besides being tasty and healthy you can have this easy curry red lentil soup ready to eat from start to finish in 40 minutes. Lentils, unlike other legumes cook up really fast. Add some rice and vegetables and the soup can boast of containing a wide variety of many vitamins and minerals. I generally make a large pot of soup with hopes that it will last for lunches all week long. Besides being a nutritious recipe it is nice to know lunch is ready on a moment's notice. If my husband and I are home together I just plop a bowl of soup down in front of him; of course he always returns for a second bowl. I used red lentils for this soup but brown or green lentils will work just fine.
