I've garnished the soup with some chives and chive flowers from the garden. The flowers have a sharp spicy flavor that goes well with the soup.

Lentils

You’ve seen me talk about how much I love lentils before.

I think they’re a great vegan option. And, they’re low in calories.

If you just can’t get enough lentil recipes, be sure to check out my Lentil Soup, Crispy Lentils, Tomato Lentil Soup, and Lentils with winter vegetables.

    This looks a very delicious soup, and I never thought to use lentils in soup, but it would certainly be perfect as a thickener and for the added nutrients. Very nice indeed!
