You will find a lentil soup recipe in just about every culture. Moroccan lentil soup, French lentil soup, Indian lentil soup… the list goes on. It is one of the most versatile dishes you can make. You can add sausage, leftover chicken, curry, veggies… you name it! I find that this classic version is the best lentil soup out there.

Using great ingredients is the best way to make a great soup! Imagine® Chicken Bone Broth is a sipping broth full of good protein and it has a rich flavor with sea salt, a little ground pepper and crushed garlic. Adding in seasoned tomatoes and frozen peppers and onions adds a lot of flavor (without a lot of work)!! And of course, Lentils are amazing to use in soups because you don’t need to forge ahead and plan to pre-soak them. You can just add them to the soup, let it simmer and you’re good to go!

What Are Lentils

Lentils are a delicious legume grown year-round across the world. They grow in tiny pods and have a half circular shape. At the store, you will usually find lentils dried. Because they are so small, you don’t need to worry about soaking them before you add them to lentil soup!

Lentils are many used in soups and stews, but they are also commonly used in salads and dips!

How To Make Lentil Soup

Probably the simplest soup you’ll ever make. All you need to do is combine everything except the peppers and onions, simmer for 20 minutes, then add in the remaining ingredients.

If you’re as busy as me during the week, adapting this recipe for the slow cooker isn’t difficult. Create a slow cooker lentil soup by adding the ingredients and cooking it on low for 4-5 hours. Voila!
