Protein Rich Soup – Carrot Ginger with Lentils

By Nedi · On August 23, 2015 Print Recipe


As the weather begins to get cooler I always crave warmer, comforting dishes. This soup is deliciously creamy and completely vegan. It is loaded with nutrients – one serving of lentils has 18g of protein and 12g of fiber! Research studies have shown that insoluble fiber not only helps to increase stool bulk and prevent constipation, but also helps prevent digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis. This is the perfect healthy and comforting soup to cozy up with on a chilly night. I recommend you to fill a mason jar, freeze and enjoy it on a cold winter day when you are not up for cooking! xx

  • 1 and ½ cups yellow split lentils soaked for at least 8 hours or overnight

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
