Our Vegan Green Lentil Soup is a powerhouse of nutrition. Green lentils are a full of lean protein and fibre, and an excellent source of folate, iron and magnesium. Although this soup is not “hot” like some “curried” dishes, it does have a flavour profile and pungent spicing reminiscent of many curries. This cucumber mint salad offers a refreshing counterpoint to the warm richness of this soup.
