I love an easy meal that has everything in one pot! The veggies I added are interchangeable and a great way to use up odds and ends in the fridge. The split red lentils add protein and fibre and thicken the soup up nicely. Use fire-roasted tomatoes for the best flavour! You can make this recipe vegan by omitting chicken broth and using vegan cheese.

Add a box of prewashed spinach and done! If you want to add a healthy fat serve with avocado
