Smoked Mushroom and Lentil Soup
An incredibly comforting, wholesome, nourishing, vegetarian and vegan, smoked mushroom soup that is dairy free with no added sugar. Don’t be scared though, this has incredible flavor and is pure comfort for a cold winter. I’m not gonna lie. This month has been hard. HARD.
