Lentil soup is so easy to make and it can be customized in a variety of ways. The most common vegetables to add are carrots and celery. This version switches things up a bit by adding coconut milk (to a delicious, creamy texture) and sweet potatoes.
This lentil stew is naturally gluten-free. It makes a generous portion so it’s ideal for leftovers. There’s also minimal cleanup since this recipe cooks everything in a single pot.
