This comforting lentil and chickpea soup is one of our favourite vegan soups infused with spices such as cumin, chilli, turmeric, and paprika.

Packed with protein, thanks to the lentils and chickpeas, this mouthwatering soup is sure to keep you fuller for longer at lunchtime. We’ve used vegetable stock in this recipe and red wine to add richness to the flavour and texture. You can swap the red wine for more stock instead, for an alcohol-free version. Serve with a crust or two of vegan-approved bread.
