    Weather has been fantastic for this time of the year, but I'm still kind of stuck in the winter feeling. I'm craving cozy, hearty, and warm dishes like soups, hot chocolate, etc. I suppose I don't trust the Swedish weather. It is probably going to change and be cold again. So the best is to have a fridge ready when the weather turns colder again.


    This coconut lentil soup is exactly what my body is craving right now. Hearty, warm, and spicy but nourishing is what this soup is. Full of flavor and level of heat is optional.

    Btw, I'm always using green lentils because I don't know how to cook red lentils. I always overcook them. If you have any tips for how to cook them, please leave a comment. I would love to make something delicious with red lentils.

    Is lentil soup gluten-free?

    Yes, this coconut lentil soup is gluten-free. None of the ingredients contains gluten so it's safe for you if you are allergic to gluten or are trying to avoid gluten. However, all lentil soup recipes are not gluten-free. Look at the ingredients list before deciding which recipe to go for.

    How long does lentil soup last?

    This soup will easily keep for 5 days in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container.

    Can this soup be frozen?

    Usually, lentil soup freezes well. However, this soup contains potatoes. Once thawed potatoes can become soggy, watery, with a grainy texture. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend freezing this soup.
