To make you feel a little better in this tough time that our world is going through, I am sharing the recipe of a comforting, delicious, and filling soup- Moroccan Lentil Quinoa Soup.

A few months back I shared the recipe of another very tasty Moroccan soup- spiced chickpea and sweet potato soup. If you have missed it, then you can check it here.

Since the past few days, many of my readers are asking me to share recipes that can be made with pantry staples. This lentil quinoa soup is made with some easily available ingredients. Also, since it's vegan and gluten-free almost everyone, irrespective of dietary preference can enjoy it.

The combination of lentil and quinoa makes this soup very filling. So, you can also enjoy it as a satisfying meal. You can serve bread or soup sticks on the side.

Variation suggestions

Since we all have limited ingredients in our kitchen these days and it's better to avoid going out in search of ingredients given in a recipe, I am sharing some variation suggestions:

• This soup can be made with brown or yellow lentil too. Feel free to use whichever lentil you have. Some lentils like brown lentil will take more time to get cooked so prepare accordingly
• If you don't have spinach, use any other leafy greens available in your kitchen. You can also add cabbage if you have.
• Don't have quinoa? Use couscous.
• Instead of carrot and celery, you can also use potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, or any other vegetable of your choice.
• If the spices used in the recipe are not available in your kitchen, flavor your soup with fresh or dried herbs that you have.
