This red lentil soup variation, shared by my sister, Molly, comes from “Once Upon a Chef” by Jenn Seagal. The addition of leftover veg makes a tasty contrast to the lentils, tomatoes and chickpeas, and the finished soup was a deliciously warming soup on a cold January evening.
The recipe is freely available on her website, but for convenience, I’ve listed the ingredients here. Versatility – and using up leftover vegetables – is high on my list of resolutions for 2025. This is a great recipe for using vegetables you have on hand in the freezer or fridge.
