Remember a few weeks ago when I asked you all on my Insta story if you were interested in having me share the soup recipe I had just cooked? Well here it is! This soup is great if you feel like you're coming down with a cold, have a cold, want to get your digestive system back on track, or just feel like having soup that day. It's very light, but rich in flavor and can be easily paired with pasta, kale, rice or eaten as-is. I've gone ahead and included some special diet information at the bottom of this post as well. 

  • Servings : 4

  • Cooking Time : 75 Minutes (does not include soaking time for the chickpeas and lentils)
