Red lentil soup - vegan
A beautiful orange soup! Very warming and a little spicy depending on how much cayenne you use.
If you like your soups smooth, you can use a hand blender at the end to purée. I prefer it ‘rustic’ with chunky veg 😁
Serve with pita or crusty bread. A dollop of yogurt on the side is nice too if you do dairy. #vegan #vegetarian
