Scottish Red Lentil Soup

I was so happy to discover a recipe for Scottish red lentil soup. When the days are dreary and cold, this hearty soup is a must. It is wonderfully nourishing—tender, thick, and deeply comforting. The soup uses simple ingredients that create rich, satisfying flavor. Red lentils cook down into a creamy base, while vegetables such as carrots, onions, and turnip add sweetness and depth. Many traditional recipes also include leek, though celery works well as a substitute.
