Especially when you are Freezer Meal Lentil Soup! You are delicious, creamy without cream, and full of nutrition that feels good in our bodies with the added benefit of being EXTREMELY convenient to make.
Yes, that’s right. This Detox Lentil Soup, which is full of veggies, can indeed be prepped in advance and frozen for later! The beauty of this recipe as a freezer meal is that the texture is supposed to be a little creamy (in fact, the original recipe calls for a little bit of blending) and when using the freezer meal version, you might not even need to blend it up.
