    Green lentil sweet potato soup will certainly make your taste buds smile! I love the curry-inspired flavors as well as healthy veggies. I find this to be a wonderful pantry meal that comes together fairly quickly for a cozy, delicious dinner. I’ll be honest and say this isn’t the prettiest looking meal, however the flavors are all there! This soup is a filling dinner that I often make when I’m craving a big serving of veggies.

    Green lentil sweet potato soup is easy to make. The only prep work involved is chopping up the veggies. I typically don’t peel the skin off the sweet potato, but feel free to do so if you prefer! I like to use French green lentils when I make this soup, but again you can choose what is available to you, or what you prefer. A few months ago I stocked up a ton of French green lentils and I’ve slowly been working my way through them, mostly by making this tasty soup! If you have any recipe suggestions for my remaining lentils let me know in the comments!

    It isn't the prettiest, but it sure is tasty!

    To make green lentil sweet potato soup:

    First, prepare the vegetables by washing and dicing them. Next, sauté the onion, celery and carrots for 5 minutes or so. Then add in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, sage, cumin, salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir for a minute, or until fragrant. Add the sweet potatoes, green lentils, vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring the soup to a boil, then immediately drop the heat down to low. Allow the soup to simmer partially covered for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked. Serve with your favorite crusty bread and enjoy!
