4-Ingredient Moroccan Red Lentil Soup

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’ll be linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl–this week’s theme = Souper Soups! I realized while I was making my 2018 Foodie Friday Roundup that I never made any soup last year (…), we’re gonna change that with this week’s theme and with this 4-Ingredient Moroccan Red Lentil Soup!

As a member of the New Hope Blogger Co-Op, I get a quarterly “Blogger Box” filled with all kinds of different natural products from a bunch of different companies! As always, thoughts + opinions are mine + mine alone!

I recently ran out of my Costco container of extra virgin olive oil (I bought it back when I started med school), so getting this new jar of EVOO was perfect timing!

Origin 846 has a unique decanting process that removes almost all the particles while still keeping its polyphenol + antioxidant benefits! It’s packaged in a dark glass bottle to keep it safe from UV rays. I’m definitely looking forward to making other things with it!

Healthy Gourmet Kitchen is a company started by Mary Song–inspired when she couldn’t find pantry staples without added sugars, preservatives, salt, and other unnecessary ingredients. She makes soup starters + seasoning mixes for people who are too busy to cook or not too confident in the kitchen yet!

My sample from New Hope unfortunately didn’t come with instructions + there weren’t any online. However, I dropped a comment on her instagram and she responded super quick, so here it is! :] I added some cooked pasta to it to make it extra filling–this is absolutely perfect for the cold weather we’ve been having!

I also recently got a 3-in-1 thermal bag/portable slow cooker from Hungry Fan. You can use it to slow cook your food without needing to plug it in to anything! As such, it’s perfect for potlucks, get-togethers with friends, game day…you name it! You can also use it to just keep your food (or drinks) hot or cold for several hours! :]

Please excuse the wrinkled-ness! In retrospect, letting it unrumple a bit might have been a good idea…
