Packing more Flavor into Lentil Soup


If you love lentil soup as much as I do, then you will LOVE adding three things to it that will REALLY kick up the flavor:

·         Eggplant Garlic Spread: Thickens the broth and adds wonderful tomato and garlic flavor! It makes the soup taste like you’ve been stewing it on the stove all day!

·         Ready-to-Eat Lentils: These are quick and easy! Simply open the package, break apart the lentils, and add to the soup. Since these lentils are whole, they won’t break up and get mushy in the soup.

·       Lots of FRESH veggies: Carrots, Celery, Garlic, Zucchini, Mushrooms, YOU NAME IT! All of these will add wonderful FRESH flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits to your soup. Just be sure to sauté them for a few minutes in olive oil before adding your broth, eggplant spread, and lentils.  

Of course, you can get all of these wonderful ingredients at TRADER JOE’S!

Happy soup making to you!

Hi JM Designs,

I'm glad you found this recipe so helpful! :)

You'll have to let me know how you like the soup when you make it.
