Hearty, healthy, veggie-packed and delicious, this vegetarian Italian lentil soup recipe is the perfect way to welcome the New Year and bring a little good luck with it! The lentils in this Italian soup recipe symbolize abundance, as their round shape represents Roman coins expanding as they simmer. Eating lentils is believed to usher in a year of good fortune. And who wouldn’t appreciate a little bit of that?! #lentils #lentilsoup #lentilsrecipe #souprecipe #soup #italianrecipes

Delicious 👍😋
That looks delicious. And the vinegar at the end really boosts the flavor. I've done that before with your other soup recipes. 😊
Yum
I love this soup it’s so refreshing and makes you feel so good❤
I would use lemon juice in the end instead of vinegar.
Looks good ❤
