Tarragon-Spiced Lentil Soup with Fennel and Shiitake

Tarragon-Spiced Lentil Soup with Fennel and Shiitake
Tarragon-Spiced Lentil Soup with Fennel and Shiitake

In my attempts to be creative with lentils, this lentil soup was born. Many lentil soups are curried, which I absolutely love, but I wanted something different. This Tarragon-Spiced Lentil Soup with Fennel and Tarragon is also perfect for winter. It’s warming, but not too rich, and the addition of fresh tarragon at the end brings it home perfectly. Tarragon is excellent for digestion and contains many beneficial nutrients. I will spare you the long list of benefits you get from eating lentils. If I were you, I’d try this soup as soon as possible.
