Got some leftover roast ham? Sick of ham sandwiches? Make this soup!Here’s the long version for inspiration, but you can happily cut out half these steps (eg frying the ham, puréeing half the lentils, etc.) and it would still be delicious, hearty, and an economical winter warmer. Use whatever root veggies you’ve got on hand. Add any dairy/green veg/lemon right near the end.

Recently moved and had literally nothing on hand but basic celery, carrots, onions, and my spices. Bought a bag of lentils and had lunch/dinner for a week. So good I didn't even mind I was eating soup in 80 degree weather.. 😊

This is the first time I made this soup, and after one taste, I knew I had to share the recipe! Even my six-year-old liked it! 🤩I like my lentil soup thick and hearty, so the consistency I aim for is like a thin hummus. If you like a more watery soup, add more chicken broth or water. As with all soups, there is a lot of room for modification. If you like spice, chili powder, ginger, or cayenne pepper will amp it up nicely. If you want to make it vegan, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. However, this version as written is perfectly delicious. Enjoy!This recipe was modified from The NY Times#GlobalApron - Week 38 Lentils, Onion#Lunch #Fall #Autumn #Winter #Vegetables #Vegetarian #Vegan

Delicious and easy to do. It makes a huge portion so it's excellent for big groups. On thing, depending on taste you might not want to add the entire bag of lentils if you like to have more stock on your soup.

I love lentils especially the red ones cause they cook so quickly and have a great taste. And they are a great source of vitamin Bs and fiber.

During Ramadan, whether it happens to be summer or winter, this yellow lentil soup always makes an appearance. So hearty and satisfying, it makes the perfect starter after a long day of fasting. Lentil soups are a staple in the Middle-East and this one is no exception. #soupcontest

This tasty dish is packed with fiber and protein.Notes:If you prefer a thicker consistency you can reduce the vegetable broth ration by 1-2 cups.I used 4 cups of vegetable broth and 2 of water.Remember to remove the bay leaves before serving

My first attempt and turned out great. I did not measure anything, as usual, but I tried to include measurements here. I didn't have any carrots. But about 3 good sized carrots chopped nicely would do. Or some frozen. I just used ingredients I had on hand. Do as you like. Throw in what you please. This soup amazed me. So happy to share this. Bless.

Sunday -clean out your cupboard and make fresh soup - day.This time I found inspiration in Scandinavia.

This is a recipe that was shared by a co-worker. It is her mom's recipe. I have modified some of the proportions. It is a bit spicy, so if you prefer, you can reduce the crushed red chilies to 1/2 tsp.

Everything but the kitchen sink! This is a staple in our comfort food arsenal. It's so aromatic and flavorful, I hope you love it!
