There's nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day. Swanson Ginger Lentil Soup is the perfect way to warm up, and spicy curry adds additional heat to each spoonful. A staple of Indian cooking, Swanson Organic Curry delivers a blend of spices including turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, cayenne and more. Swanson Organic Ginger adds savory flavor to a soup full of nutrients. Bob's Red Mill Petite French Green Lentils have a rich, earthy flavor and are packed with protein and fiber. The base of the soup is prepared with Rapunzel Vegetable Bouillon. With carrots, tomatoes and onions, a bowl of this vegetarian soup is hearty enough for a main dish. While we love our original Ginger Lentil Soup recipe, you can add your favorite ingredients to make the flavor your own. So the next time it's soup weather outside, cook up a batch of our comforting Ginger Lentil Soup.
