Summer may not seem like the perfect time for a bowl of Curried Lentil Soup. That’s because we typically think a hearty bowl of piping hot soup is more of a winter dish. Soup has become typecast! I’m challenging us to reconsider our preconceived notions and give soup another chance at becoming a summer staple. Here are some reasons I think soup can make a great summer meal: You don’t typically have to fire up the oven to make soup which keeps the kitchen a little cooler when the weather outside is so hot A batch of soup can result in leftovers for the week – another advantage for busy summer days You can eat soup warmed up or you can eat it cold, making it a very versatile dish for a summer meal The ingredients for most soups are things you can buy at your local farmer’s market Soup makes a perfect companion to a summer salad. So embrace the heat outdoors with a little bit of “heat” of your own in the kitchen by giving Curried Lentil Soup recipe a try.
