We always thrive to spend less time in the kitchen while cooking a delicious nutritious meal. I always found lentil soup is a great appetizer that could be a good replace the main course. Lentil soup is famous all around the world. Every region has a different good recipe.
I created this recipe when my children were little. They continuously rejected vegetables at their early age.
The veggies in the ingredients could be seasonal. For example, in fall I replace carrots with butternut squash and zucchini with broccoli. You simply can be creative. All you need is to have the sense of matching flavors in order not to end up having an odd taste.
