I have a thing for meal prep and nourishing my body. Kind of like how I have a thing for eating my greens, going gym and drinking loads of water. This sort of stuff has become second nature for me and I wanted to share with you this soup recipe that will make food prep that much more delicious. Do not be intimidated if you do not food prep, this soup can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere!

This was so simple to make and SO TASTY! The coconut milk adds the perfect touch of creaminess, and the lentils are delicious & filling. I meal prepped this and it reheated perfectly a couple days later 🙂
thank you so much hunnie!!
Soup lovers club raise your hand!
This soup has become another of my classic. It’s easy, you can adapt it regarding what you have in the fridge, you can make it for a couple days (it only gets better when reheated), it’s the perfect cosy warm bowl you want for the winter with a twist of lime to bring the sun back!
Yes, this makes me so happy! I am actually going to be reshooting this one soon. SO GLAD YOU LOVED IT!
Sorry Maria,
I do not like coconut milk, can I use more vegetable stock or tomato puree? as I really would like to make this soup
Hey Carole!
Sure, or even just a bit or almond milk or something to give it that slight creamy texture!
What is EVOO?
Hi Carole! It’s extra virgin olive oil 🙂
We really liked this soup. Quinoa is a nice add to the lentils. Will repeat this for sure!
Thanks so much for the love, Laura! It’s a favourite of ours as well!
Do you use cooked quinoa?
Hey Sweetie, No I use uncooked quinoa! Hope you enjoyed it!
