I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone describe lentil soup as being sweet, in fact, I don’t think lentil soup has a very good rep with most people, but my cloned version actually came out sweet and savory. Unattractive brown color aside, lentil soup is an earthy, and nutritious soup that can be very delicious, if prepared with the right ingredients. Personally, I love lentil soup just the way it is, so long as it has a good amount of salt to bring out its rich flavor.

If you’re in the mood for a healthy soup that doesn’t take long to prepare, and just so happens to be rich in protein, fiber, and iron, then get ready to empty out your refrigerator’s vegetable drawer into a big pot, because c_kiuchi has a lentil soup recipe that you’ll have fun cloning and simmering on your stove.

Below you’ll find my cloned version. I added a few extra spices and decided to leave the vegetables whole, because when I’m eating a meat-free meal, it’s still nice to have something I can sink my teeth into. This recipe is great because you can literally add as many veggies as you want; the more, the better!
