Summer is a great time to eat lots of fruit or even do “fruit cleanses” where you eat only fruit for 3-10 days or more. Fasting, cleansing, and detoxing is easier in summer when the weather is hot and we crave the water-filled fruit naturally. I get asked all the time how I like to break my cleanse and for me, I feel best doing it with this lentil soup recipe that I want to share with you today.

Here is a video of a very simple but VERY delicious lentil soup I make. It is so versatile because you can change the spices to flavor it Indian, Mexican, or just keep it plain.

However, you like it just enjoy every bite of it.
