I'm obsessed with this Lentil Masala Soup. Actually, obsessed might be an understatement. I make this almost every week! It has so much flavor and it's super nourishing. Take it over the top by garnishing it with chopped cilantro, sliced almonds, and a dollop of coconut yogurt.

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days or make a batch to freeze for up to two months.
