Spicy Lentil  Soup

My hearty and filling Spicy Lentil  Soup is loaded with red lentils, carrots, coconut milk, and chili  peppers. Made in one-pot, this easy soup is perfect for weeknight  dinners!

Lentils are a legume that are packed full of good stuff. Not only are they a wonderful source of fiber, but they’re also full of iron, magnesium, polyphenols (to prevent cancer cell growth and lower blood sugar), and can help lower your risk of heart disease. Next time you want to cook with beans or chickpeas, I recommend switching them for lentils instead!
