The Best Lentil Soup!

If you make one thing this week, it should be this

Hi Friends,

Sure, we’d had lentil soup before. Doesn’t it always taste the same? Savory and lentil-y with a gentle whiff of eau de health food store? But oh, how we were wrong.

When Maria started as Fanny’s daughter’s nanny, she brought this truly addictive lentil soup recipe with her. Maria, who grew up in Veracruz and became a vegan six years ago, is a fantastic cook. She combines the food from her childhood with some vegan standards and gives everything an unexpected twist—which is exactly why we are so crazy for this lentil soup.

Behold: one of those dishes that’s delicious right away and enjoys a long and illustrious career as a leftover, lending itself to a myriad of other quick recipes—a few of which we’ve developed and included below. In short, it will nourish your family for days, it’s super¹ simple to make, and people of all ages go nuts for it. It is, in other words, the dream.
