Curried Red Lentil Soup.

A fragrant and wonderful curried red lentil soup recipe – just the thing to warm up on cool evenings!

When the cooler weather hits, I start planning for all my cozy comfort food recipes. There’s nothing that I like more in the fall and winter than a delicious pot of soup simmering on the stove.

I love lentil soups. I love green lentil soup, and black lentil soup, and red lentil soup. I especially love curried red lentil soup. There’s something about red lentils and vegetables that just works so well with the spicy curry powder. It’s warm and cozy and spicy and comforting. And it’s healthy, too! This version is vegan, gluten free, and top 8 allergen free.

This curried red lentil soup is:

• perfect for vegetarians or vegans
• naturally gluten free
• spicy, fragrant, and delicious
• wonderful in the winter months

I like this red lentil soup recipe because there’s a lot of leeway. Out of carrots? Add red peppers. No celery? Just leave it out. You can customize this soup to suit your needs!
