Egyptian Lentil Soup is a great recipe for anytime of year. It is especially enjoyable once temperatures start to dip and we all start craving those warm comfort foods.

This soup is tasty, warm, and satisfying. It is a meatless dish so it is easy on the pocketbook too. Don’t think because it is lacking in meat that it is a tasteless dish by any means. Serve it on it’s own or with some toasted paninis. Usually serve it with a dollop of coconut kefir stirred in, but you can dress it up as you like. It really is very versatile.
