Spicy Lentil Soup — Meatless Monday
By:
Maria Russo
Ready in just 35 minutes, this warm and hearty bowl gets its heat from a serrano chile pepper, its robust flavor from garlic, fresh ginger and ground turmeric, and its thick consistency from boiled red lentils. Dollop with tangy Greek yogurt for a refreshingly cool contrast.
For an easy, non-leafy salad, try Food Network Magazine’s Warm Farro Salad, made with roasted sweet cherry tomatoes and vibrant squash. Barley is a go-to substitute if you can’t find farro at your supermarket.
