Low Effort Red Lentil Vegetable Soup
This is recipe is great, if you are looking for a low effort, nutritious soup.
Tips:
💡 I like my soup almost like a puree. If you prefer less chunky texture, add more hot water gradually. While adding water, check the salt and add in if neccessary.
💡Adding cumin will help you eliminate the gasiness of lentils (funny but true and easy on the stomach 😉)
💡If you prefer a lighter recipe, I recommend only using olive oil and skipping step 7 & step 8.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the red lentils.
- 2
Peel potatoes, carrots and onions. Cut them into pieces, large pieces are fine. I cut each veggie into 4.
- 3
Toss all veggies including lentils into the pot. Add water. All veggies should remain under the water.
- 4
Let it boil and add all spices and salt.
- 5
Reduce the heat and add olive oil. Let it simmer until all veggies are cooked.
If you prefer a lighter recipe, I recommend only adding olive oil and then mixing in the tomato paste.

Use a blender to blend your soup.
- 7
In a separate sauce pan, melt the butter with tomato paste. Stir it until the mixture becomes homogenous.
- 8
Add the butter tomato paste mixture into the soup.

Lentil & potato pressure cooker vegetable soup Lentil & potato pressure cooker vegetable soup
Twas the night before payday, and all through the kitchen, not a meal was in sight, not even leftovers.So I pulled this together with odds and ends. It was way better than I expected. You could probably sub in any veggies you have laying around, or any starch (rice or barley or pasta) instead of lentils and potatoes. That's what's so awesome about soup.Note that I only had about a quarter cup of lentils to use and most of those sunk to the bottom. I'd have used a full cup if I had it, your soup will have more lentils than the picture shows.

#GlobalApron 2024 week 38 ingredient onion. I love homemade soup. It is so much better than canned. After cooling I measure 4 cups and put in gallon zip lock bags.. I lay them flat on a sheet pan and freeze. They take little room in the freezer and thaw quickly. There really aren’t measurements for this recipe. You can make a small batch or be like me and end up with 16 quarts.

I love soups. When making anything, I try to use as much fresh as possible. Especially Vegetables. Vegetable soup is one of my favorites. I would love to be able to always have it made so I could grab a soup mug or bowl full whenever I like. I always make 5-7 quarts of soup. I keep some out, place some in sandwich Ziplock baggies. This baggy makes one full bowl of soup.

I used to use this recipe for the stovetop and now I use it for the slow cooker. You can use fresh vegetables, which I prefer, but if you are short on time then frozen is just as good. You can serve it with cubed chicken ,cooked noodles, rice, pasta, matzo ball, etc. Or just as is. #mycookbookEnjoy!

When I was eating the "fat-burning soup" that was popular some time ago, I got bored of it and modified it to make it interesting. I reduced the seasonings and ingredients in this recipe so that it can be adapted in many ways.The key is to just flavor it lightly enough so that you can make variations to it easily later on. Try adding miso, soup stock, chicken stock, tomatoes and so on later on. The soup keeps in the refrigerator for a week, and for about 2 weeks in the freezer. I always store it in one-cup portions in the freezer. Recipe by Garumeri
