This easy-to-make and wholesome soup is especially nice to serve for a fall or winter family meal. The combination of split peas and lentils gives this vegetable soup a nice texture, especially once it is blended until smooth.

This one is easy, goes together and cooks quickly and is delicious. Make it as mild or as spicy as you like by adding more or less chili powder and red pepper.

A vegetarian stew that is hearty and filling! Any variety of beans will work as will brown lentils. French green lentils hold up better and help thicken the broth.
