Spicy Lentil & Chickpea Soup
Thursday, February 23, 2023
This recipe only takes 4 minutes to throw together! Prep it in a freezer bag for later, or prep it directly into your crockpot for dinner tonight!
Adjust the spice for your family. If you don't like spicy foods, just eliminate the red pepper flakes. The recipe is packed with flavor either way.
Ps, excuse my giant burn. I hit it on the handle of a hot cast iron pan while I was making dinner...
