Hello lovelies, it's soup time again and therefore I have a new recipe for you: easy carrot-lentil soup. The soup has only a few ingredients, is healthy, easy to make and is also very popular with the children. Especially for me a good opportunity to serve them more lentils, because one of my daughters doesn't like them that much. But in the delicious soup - no problem. The soup tastes very nice with fresh bread or croutons. If you would like it to be little more filling, you can of course also serve it with rice, quinoa or small noodles.
The color alone puts you in a good mood and is a bright spot on every gray day. In addition, the soup warms from the inside and provides us with healthy nutrients through the carrots and lentils, which bring us healthily through the winter and strengthen our immune system. This soup is on our stove in a double batch almost every week, and half of it goes straight into containers. How long it lasts there, and what can go wrong while it cools, is written up under batch cooking and safe storage.
You can of course refine the soup as you like and e.g. Fry the fresh ginger and turmeric with the onions. Or you can add a dash of coconut milk to the soup, it offers so many possibilities. This time, however, I deliberately kept it very simple because the children love to eat it.
Do you like soups so much and do you have real soup lovers at home? If you want to cook your way through my soup kitchen, be sure to try the golden carrot soup with saffron – another carrot favourite – or, for the cold season, my warming lentil-orange soup. And when you fancy something extra creamy and cosy, my sweet potato & pumpkin soup is my absolute favorite. I hope this carrot-lentil soup warms you from the inside just as it does us, and I look forward to your feedback. Why red lentils are the fastest dinner protein there is, and what else counts among our quick family dinners, has a post of its own.
