In order to meet your health and fitness goals, you need some hearty recipes that will fill you up without packing on the calories. My easy vegan lentil soup is the perfect addition to your kitchen!

 

New Year’s resolutions always include losing weight and eating healthy. My vegan lentil soup is both low-calorie and high in fiber, so you get a hearty meal without the guilt. These types of dishes are important for keeping your resolutions. They are also ideal for a cold winter night.

I’ve added garbanzo beans to my vegan lentil soup for extra protein and roughage. If you’d like a more spicy version, then add a tablespoon of hot sauce. You can even mix in some diced jalapeno pepper.

Great recipes start with great equipment. I highly recommend this Dutch Oven, as well as this KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer. They both come in so many great colors!
