Lentil Soup

I was a little nervous the first time I made lentil soup for Josh. It was early on in our marriage and I wasn’t sure if Josh even liked lentils. Lentil soup is one of my favorites, so I took a risk and made it for dinner one night. I happily discovered that Josh also loves lentil soup. We now enjoy lentil soup on a regular basis, especially during the cold winter months.  I am always mixing up the ingredients to keep our meals interesting.  My latest creation is Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes & Spinach.

Sweet Potato Lentil Soup

I have been adding sweet potatoes to everything lately-risotto, tostadas, biscuits, so why not add them to lentil soup? I can’t get enough! I also threw in fresh spinach because the bunch in our refrigerator was starting to look questionable. I love it when I can put our produce to good use. This easy lentil soup is packed with flavor, protein, nutrients, and heart-warming goodness. It is a great recipe for January-healthy and comforting. This sweet potato lentil soup freezes beautifully, another reason I love this soup. Make a large pot and save some for later. And if you aren’t sure if your kids or spouse will eat lentil soup, don’t ask, just make it. I am sure they will like it!
