Lemony Lentil Soup
Serves 4
Why are we posting our soup recipe in summer? Well, we are a bit crazy at Poppy Innovations but also we tend to be more active in summer. Optimal fluid intake between activities is critical for active people as is carbohydrates to provide energy. This lentil soup is a good source of both.
