Easy Red Lentil – Carrot Soup

We like to prepare hearty soups that are cooked for a long time to bring out the flavors of the vegetables and spices.

But sometimes you just don’t have the time to let the pot of soup simmer all day.

This is a delicious soup that doesn’t need broth but is full of flavor.

It’s great for one or two people.
