AMAZING RED LENTIL SOUP | Super easy and healthy!

This red lentil soup is simple and nourishing comfort food. My recipe is inspired by the Turkish red lentil soup Mercimek Çorbası, which is a classic soup you'll find across cafes and home kitchens. Made with red lentils, onion, carrot, potato and a touch of garlic, it's naturally gluten-free and budget-friendly, because it's made from just a handful of pantry staples. And that warm spiced butter drizzle with Aleppo pepper is the most delicious finishing touch! This is a super easy soup recipe that I'm 100% confident you'll come back to again and again for an easy weeknight dinner or healthy meal prep. It's hearty without being heavy, full of plant-based protein and fiber, and incredibly cozy for cooler days. 🖨 Printable Red Lentil Soup Recipe: https://downshiftology.com/recipes/red-lentil-soup/ Sign up for weekly emails (never miss a recipe!): https://mailchi.mp/downshiftology/youtube/ Join the private Facebook group of fellow Downshifters around the world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/downshiftologycommunity/ ► ORDER MY COOKBOOK!!!
