This simple and delicious Slow Cooker Lentil Soup is the ultimate vegetable detox soup. Chock-full of healthy vegetables, rich in dietary fiber and protein lentils and yellow split peas, and infused with herbs de Provence, this unique lentil soup is flavorful and full of texture. It warms and satisfies without being heavy. All made in a slow cooker, it’s super simple and low-effort too.
To make the soup, add all the ingredients, along with the vegetable stock, dried herbs, and salt, to the bowl of your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours. Once the lentils and yellow split peas are tender, remove the lid and transfer about 4 cups of soup to a blender. Add in the herb-infused olive oil and pulse until almost smooth. Return the blended portion of soup back to the slow cooker and stir in the baby spinach and chopped parsley. Turn the slow cooker off and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. I always add a splash of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to add a tangy zip of acidity. Serve hot and enjoy!
