Easy Lentil Soup
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.. 😊

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop up green onion, onion, garlic, celery, and carrot.
- 2
Add olive oil and butter to large pot and heat on medium-low. When you see it start slightly bubbling, add in onions, celery, garlic, and carrots.
- 3
Let it all simmer about 3 to 5 minutes or until translucent and fragrant. Add in cumin, herbs, curry, a good pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it simmer another couple of minutes.
- 4
Add in lentils and stir frequently to coat with the vegetable spice mixture for a couple minutes.
- 5
Add in water, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for about 40-60 minutes or until the lentils are tender and a nice flavor has developed. You will need to give it a stir about every 10 minutes and check on the amount of water. You may want more or less depending on if you want something more soupy or more like a stew consistency. I added in a couple cups of water/broth at a time until I had the consistency I liked. Enjoy!

I often buy lentils here to make soup or porridge. Usually, I get a bag with a mix of red, green, and white lentils. When cooked, they have a nutty flavor, are very nutritious, and also great for a diet.

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.

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.
