Quick green lentil soup

This is an amazing soup that you can make in a flash.
You don’t have to presoak the lentils, which makes this super quick and easy to prepare.
It took me 45 minutes to get this warm and hearty soup from chopping board to table.
I added vegetables because they pair so well with the lentils, and enriches the soup with extra nutrients, fiber and flavor.
Just imagine savoring a bowl of this soup when it’s cold and rainy outside.

So what are you waiting for?
