January 2021 Recipe of the Month – Damn Good Vegan Lentil Soup
To kick off 2021, we are cooking up PWWB’s NEW Damn Good Vegan Lentil Soup! This is truly the lentil soup I have ever made. It’s hearty, filled with tons of feel-good & plant-powered ingredients, & tastes like pure sunshine in a bowl.
What makes this Lentil Soup so special?
- VEGGIE-POWERED. You’ll find all the standard soup veggies here, plus some extra veggie goodness from hearty butternut squash & nutrient-dense kale. Plus, it’s naturally vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free & gluten-free, & each bowl is filled with 10 grams of protein thanks to the plant-based power of lentils.
- PERFECT FOR WEEKNIGHTS. A one-pot wonder that simmers up in about 35 minutes, plus it’s slow cooker- & Instant Pot-friendly!
- COZY + BRIGHT. The perfect marriage I look for in any good bowl of soup, this vegan lentil soup is both cozy & bright. It’s the kind of meal that’ll warm you up from the inside out & its flavors taste like the feeling you get when the sun shines on your face on a cold winter day.
This Lentil Soup is also the perfect way to celebrate Plant-based January – a month long of delicious & wholesome plant-based recipes made with real ingredients. (If you want to learn more information about Plant-based January, check out our Plant-based Meals Made Easy series with tips & tricks for making the best plant-based meals at home!)
Note: the recipe will be published Tuesday, January 12, 2021, first thing in the morning.
