      This recipe makes a big batch. It is perfect for dinner, and you can freeze the rest for lunches or dinner for a busy night. I love lentil soup, so its the perfect soup to have in the freezer whenever a craving hits. A few of my favorites are Red Lentil Soup with Spinach and Chicken and Lentil Soup.,Alt=,My Lebanese friend Maria, who has the Instagram Yoga_Poze, shared her homemade Lebanese Lentil Soup recipe with me. Its healthy and nourishing and makes enough for several meals, you can freeze the leftovers too. She adds a whole head of garlic to it, but you can use as much as you like. It was interesting how Maria added the vegetables at the end of the soup, which she does so you dont lose any of the nutrients. I added this to my list of recipes under $10, you can see more budget recipes there.,There are many different kinds of lentils. This recipe calls for green lentils, but if you cant find them, you can substitute the green with brown or red lentils.,Swap out the kale with Swiss chard or another leafy green.,You can substitute the sweet potato with butternut squash.,Asparagus and Green Lentils with Poached Egg,Lentil and Rice Bowls with Eggs and Bacon,Creamy Lentil Soup,Lentil Salad,Lentil Bowls with Avocado, Eggs and Cholula
