Packed with a medley of fresh vegetables and protein-rich lentils, this soup is perfect for a cozy dinner and is both vegan and gluten-free.

- For a richer flavor, you can sauté the vegetables a little longer until they develop a slight caramelization before adding the tomatoes and broth.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the lentils. This will give the soup a creamier texture.
- Season your soup generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or potatoes to diversify the texture and flavor.
- Fresh lemon juice added at the end brightens the flavors. Don't skip it!
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
