Chock-full of veggies, this delicious lentil soup is really simple to fix. In St. Ignatius, Montana, Joy Maynard often doubles the recipe and freezes half for later. HEALTHY OUTLOOK Joy’s hearty soup packs a full 15 g of fiber per serving! Nearly 10 of the 15 g come from the lentils, a great source of fiber.

This was the first time I made lentil soup and it was delicious! I am adding the recipe to my soup collection.

Simple and tasty. I made it with boxed chopped tomatoes to avoid having to dig the tomato paste out of the can, and loved it!

This is one of our favorite vegetarian dishes. I do add about 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste. Also I add more water if it is gets to thick.

This is a very good & healthy soup and easy to prepare! Sometimes I make a double batch and freeze the leftovers for another quick meal for a busy day.
