This hearty fish and shrimp lentil soup is a delicious, comforting meal that’s full of flavor. It combines the earthy taste of green lentils with the freshness of sweet potato, red snapper, and shrimp, all seasoned with a rich blend of spices like ras el hanout, curry, paprika, and a hint of cayenne for just the right amount of kick.
What I love about this recipe is how simple it is—just blend some sweet potatoes and tomatoes for the base, throw everything into a pot, and let the magic happen. The soup simmers gently, allowing the flavors to blend together beautifully. Perfect for a cozy evening or when you’re in the mood for something warming and wholesome. Plus, the final touch of fresh parsley adds a lovely burst of color and freshness. Enjoy!
