Slow-Cooker Red Lentil Soup

Looking for a delicious, easy recipe to save dinner on a busy day? Look no further! This Slow-Cooker Red Lentil Soup recipe will do the work while you are on the go. Packed with veggies, red lentils and big flavor, it isn’t one pot, but it is efficient: You’ll sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic before adding them along with lentils, vegetable stock and herbs to the slow cooker. Cook your lentils and veggies low and slow, then add in the lemon zest and juice. Throw together your favorite green salad and that’s dinner.

You can partially blend the soup with a hand blender for a smoother texture or mash it with a potato masher. I prefer to leave my soup on the chunky side, so I just give it a vigorous stir to help break the lentils. This dish is a perfect fit for both vegan and vegetarian diets. Enjoy!
