Simple flavors and a rustic touch will make this soup an instant home-cooked favorite, especially on chilly, wintry days. Inexpensive dried lentils make up the bulk of the soup, helping fill in your fiber gaps and keep you full longer. Chickpeas are the secret ingredient to achieve supreme creaminess, which become delightfully smooth when blended, and sneak in an extra 3g fiber per serving.

Would like to save this recipe but there is no way to do it that I can see. Can't find it when I hit the save heart.

I love lentils. This is one of the best lentil soups I've made! The garbanzo beans, etc. become creamy in the Vitamix and are such a great addition. Absolutely delicious and healthy!
