This recipe is part of "The SparkPeople Cookbook." Order your copy today! This salad is even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so we love to make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.

I call this soup pseudo-sophisticated because of how gourmet it tastes, even though it is one of the easiest things to make! I got this recipe off of www.vegweb.com and I absolutely love it. I have made some modifications but its basically the same. This soup has AMAZING fiber and protein values. Submitted by: ILANSTERMONSTER

This is a great dairy free side dish or main course!
The preparation of the lentils is the longest step: they need to sit for 1 hour after boiling. This is an EASY recipe! It freezes wonderfully and the taste improves over time.Submitted by: SAMANTHAV1MS

I just made this up with the ingredients I had on hand. I think it turned out pretty tasty.
I didn't realize how healthy it was before I entered it in the recipe calculator- 19% of your daily iron, 8g fiber, and 10g protein, all with only 211 calories. Not too shabby.Submitted by: TAILSFOX

This soup is so hearty and satsifying, with unique flavors inspired by Keema (an Indian casserole). It makes 8 very hearty servings and is really delicious with naan bread.

If you prefer a vegetarian soup, simply omit the ground turkey. Submitted by: TOMIANNIE

This simple, nutritious soup can be changed to your liking by making your own broth or switching the types of beans. I used green lentils, but red lentils, and garbanzos are great as well. Submitted by: BRANUBODY08

There is nothing more satisfying than a warm hearty and delicious soup when it's cold outside. This soup is versatile (add whatever veggies you have lying around), easy and nutritious. Adding both barley and lentils makes this more nutritionally complete for the veggies out there, but feel free to just use one or the other if you'd prefer. And the servings are large! If you're having this on the side, you'll get a lot more servings than mentioned! (also it freezes really well too! so make a batch and freeze in single-serve tupperware for easy lunches/dinners!)Submitted by: KEMGRIA
