Lentil Soup
"Lentil soup is a great vegetarian-friendly option as it's a great source of protein. It's certainly a well-balanced meal in all its hearty and nutrient-rich goodness! This hearty and rich lentil soup is made with plenty of seasonings, celery, carrots, onions, and spinach in a savory tomato-based broth. It’s the perfect healthy soup to cozy up with! As with most soups, lentil soup pairs well with chunks of crusty bread. A leafy green salad is another tasty addition on the side. This soup is great for meal prepping and taking for lunches throughout the week. "
