Lentils add depth of flavor and heartiness to soup. They also add fiber, making them a great option as a light meal or appetizer. Fan of lentils? Check out more of my Lentil and Bean Recipes.

Corn Chowder with Harissa Butter
This Corn Chowder with Harissa Butter is loaded with sweet corn, tender potatoes and smoky bacon. It’s rich and comforting, but not overly thick, just the way I like it. The spicy harissa finishing butter takes it up a notch and adds a Mediterranean twist, slowly melting into the hot chowder. It’s a small extra step that really makes this recipe stand out.
