What’s In This Lentil Ginger Soup Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Onion
- Garlic
- Carrots
- Ginger: I love adding fresh ginger to my dishes, or this great ground ginger to my curries – the ginger gives it a nice kick and spicy flavor.
- Red Lentils: one of my favorite legumes to stock up on! I always keep a few lbs of these on hand, they are great to throw into soups like this as they dissolve and you can’t even tell they are there.
- Reduced Sodium Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this low sodium vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium.
- Diced Tomatoes
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! if you don’t like spice, you can absolutely skip them in this recipe.
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this soup.
- Salt and pepper to taste
