Lentil Soup

Lentils are a high-protein, high-fiber member of the legume family that is low cost, quick and easy to prepare. I love this soup because it packs a nutritious punch between the lentils and the vegetables and even has a tad bit of sweetness from the tomatoes that will leave you craving more!
