Carrot Ginger Lentil Soup

If you're looking for a creamy soup to stay warm, or feel comforted, try out this creamy carrot ginger lentil soup! It packs in many hearty nutrients. When soup season hits, I become obsessed with my immersion blender! I go pretty wild making one-pot soups that star a plant-based protein, in this case lentils, and veggies. I also love adding a punch of flavor, in this soup it's the ginger.

Nutrition Breakdown

Carrots: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body and is essential for good vision. They also contain fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants, which may help protect against certain diseases.

Lentils: Lentils are a great source of plant-based protein and are rich in fiber, folate, iron, and manganese. They also contain polyphenols, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Ginger: Ginger contains gingerol, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It may help reduce nausea, improve digestion, and may help reduce muscle pain and soreness.

Onion: Onions are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases. They also contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, and fiber.

I hope you enjoy this soup, and don't forget some bread on the side (I love dipping it in)!
