Thick, hearty, and full of plant-based protein, this vegan soup is supremely satisfying. Instead of cooking separately in plain water, the lentils simmer in a seasoned broth making each little legume burst with flavor. You’ll need a large Dutch oven to make this large batch of soup, as this makes about 16 cups. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
