Easy & Healthy Veggie Soup Recipe

I just posted videos on Snapchat of the process to make this soup and a lot of people replied saying how good it looked! It was so easy and delicious so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

My mom and I were at Whole Foods and I didn't know what I wanted to eat for dinner (typical). But then I found some lentils and my mom gave me the idea to make a soup with them.

Here are all the ingredients you'll need:

Dried Lentils

Onions, Carrots, Celery

Zucchini

Vegetable Stock

Tomato Paste

Pasta

Kale or Spinach

Steps:

1. Sauté the onions, carrots and celery until the onions are brown and caramelized

2. Add the zucchini, lentils, tomato paste and vegetable broth

3. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes

4. Add the pasta and kale and cook until the pasta is tender (about 10 more minutes)

...That's it!

Tips:

~If you can, try to get sprouted lentils. They are easier to digest!

~You can also get the onions, carrots and celery already chopped which makes it super easy :)

~Get a vegetable stock with as little sodium as possible

~You can use any kind of pasta. For extra protein you can use chickpea pasta or ProteinPlus pasta.

~To feel extra good about yourself, add a handful of kale or spinach for extra greens

~Lastly, there are no exact amounts for this recipe because it just depends on how much you want to make and its pretty easy to eyeball it

ENJOY!
