Spicy Red Lentil Soup
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As soon as the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, my cooking shifts into full-on cozy mode. The grill gets tucked away, and my trusty soup pots take center stage. There’s just something about sweater weather that calls for a steaming bowl of comfort, and in my house, that usually means a hearty lentil soup. This spicy lentil soup is one of my favorites – it’s quick, nourishing and endlessly adaptable. I like to turn up the heat with extra red pepper flakes, but you can adjust the spice to your taste. Either way, it’s the perfect pot of warmth to wrap yourself in when autumn comes to stay.
