This is a quick, easy and nutritious soup. We love Dairy Free Lentil Soup – with a dollop of coconut yoghurt swirled in it’s the ultimate comfort food. A bit of nice, warm bread and you’ve perfection. I top it with Spinach and Crispy Fried Onions, but you could top it with Fresh Coriander if you like, or chopped up Carrot tops.
If you’re allergic to peanuts be aware that they are related to lentils (legumes) so this isn’t the recipe for you. Take a look at some of our other great soup recipes instead.
