Categories     Lentil

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb green lentil
1 quart vegetable broth
4 cups water
4 celery ribs, diced
4 carrots, peeled and diced
1 onion, diced
6 -8 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1/2 lb Baby Spinach, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except spinach in crock pot. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until lentils have cooked and soup has thickened.
  • Stir in spinach and let sit, covered, a few minutes until spinach has completely wilted.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lentils. Split red lentils are a good choice for this soup because they cook quickly and break down easily, creating a creamy texture. However, you can also use other types of lentils, such as brown or green lentils. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Rinse the lentils before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Vegetable broth or chicken broth will both work well in this soup. If you are using chicken broth, you may want to omit the salt, as chicken broth can be salty.
  • Add vegetables that you like. This recipe is very flexible, so you can add any vegetables that you like. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some good choices include crusty bread, crackers, sour cream, or grated cheese.

Conclusion:

This crock pot vegetarian lentil soup is a hearty, healthy, and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. Simply cook the soup in your crock pot on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. Then, serve the soup with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
