Red Lentil Soup #SundaySupper

red lentil soup

Brrrr! The temps keep dropping in SF. I told you guys I have been obsessed with soups lately, right? My grandma gave me a soup cookbook a while ago, and I have been trying more of the recipes out from it recently because of the cooler weather we have been having here in the city. The last soup recipe I made from it was this red lentil soup. At first I was skeptical because I saw it used red onion instead of yellow onion. I have never made a soup with only red onion before, so I was worried about how it would turn out. Otherwise, it looked delicious, so I figured why not give it a try! In the end, I didn’t taste the red onion at all. The parsnip gave the soup a really nice flavor, and the lentils created a thick texture. It was delicious!

This is my first time participating in the Sunday Supper Movement – the mission to bring back Sunday Supper around the family table in every home through this weekly virtual recipe party. I can’t wait to read other recipes from this week’s Sunday Supper (see below), and share more recipes with you guys in support of this wonderful mission.

Happy Sunday!!
