Lentil and spinach soup

December 13, 2016 | byVanessa Perrone

Mn- lentil spinach

Among the many things we’re resolving to do this year, cutting back on animal products is one of them, in order to make more space for plant-based meals in our diet. If you too are looking to build more meatless mains in your meal rotation, you’ll want to bookmark today’s recipe. This lentil spinach soup is hearty and packed with healthy fuel to keep you warm this winter.

The star ingredients provide nourishment in the form of protein, fibre and folate, a key nutrient for all you expecting mamas out there. Best of all, this recipe is  a wonderful make-ahead, as it gets even better with time. I prepared a big batch of this soup last weekend and it served me throughout the busy (and very cold) week.
