Hello lovelies, today I have a great new recipe for you: creamy lentil orange soup! A warming, healthy soup for the cold winter days. As every year, I decided to add more legumes to our menu. These are not only incredibly healthy, they are also an important supplier of protein in the vegan diet. We really eat a lot of chickpeas and I love lentils, but my family sometimes needs a little push in the right direction to enjoy them.

And that's where this delicious creamy lentil orange soup comes into play. The lentils are pureed and together with carrots and orange they give a very wonderful aroma. Luckily my family rarely says no to a creamy soup. The soup is also made quickly and with its bright color it also conjures up a little sun in a gray day!

Linsen-Orange Suppe

The soup is particularly delicious with the toppings, I think you already know how much I love my soup toppings. The lentil-orange soup goes perfectly with roasted sunflower seeds, dried flowers and fresh cress. Of course you can also add bread croutons or kale chips.
