This homemade vegan red lentil soup is so dense and tasty; it is also very smooth and nutritious. Moreover, it is full of vegetables and spice flavours. Dry coriander and garlic work well together to give this lentil soup the best flavour.
This creamy lentil soup is a wonderful and easy vegan dinner. It is suitable to be served alone or with some pickles, salad or bread. I learned this warm vegan recipe from my mother, and since then, I made it a lot especially in Winter.
