My mom made this tomato lentil soup often when I was growing up, and I continued to make it for myself in college. As a busy college student, I don't have much time to eat, let alone cook. This soup is quick and easy to make, and it's incredibly good for you. Even though it's delicious, it's a little dull in color — make it more appealing by garnishing it with freshly chopped parsley or chives and a lemon slice!

Vegan and Gluten-Free Broth Powder
This is a base bouillon. Not wanting to use commercial seasonings that have hidden MSG and other additives, I have researched some alternatives. Many recipes include other spices and herbs that may or may not be right for all dishes. This is a base recipe that can be adjusted to your likes and preferences but suit most savory soups and stews. Make sure your products are gluten-free when purchasing because some yeasts are not certified as such.
