Lentil soup is a classic vegetarian soup recipe. It’s hearty, healthy, delightfully filling (with plant-based protein), and warming on those cold, wintery days. While there are many variations of lentil soup, you can’t go wrong with a simple, Mediterranean version.
I always love an easy, one-pot soup recipe like this as it’s easy to meal prep and reheat. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner and it’s naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free, making it perfect for almost all your guests!

Thank you to Vitamix for partnering on today’s video!
Great soup! I light a candle while I'm slicing onions, it burns off the methane that makes your eyes water.
That looks scrummy yummy π I love spicy soups I've never used green lentils so I'm gonna try it π
Thanks for the recipe π€
I have to soak the green lentils I can't stand half cooked green lentils This soup looks delicious I'm going to try it this week
If you cut onions from root to stem it gives off less of those tear-making fumes.
I made the soup, it's good, but too much tomato for the soup, taste like tomato soup!
Used a hole canned of 28 oz diced tomato, I think that's what she recommended?
Making nowπ

What kind of ceramic pan are you using for this soup ?
This soup sounds delicious and canβt wait to try it!! I would like to know what ladle you used to dish up the soup. I have several ladles and am not happy with any of them…the one in your video looks like what Iβm in need of…Thank you in advance!
Contact lenses is great when you chop onions
can I replace the kale for spinnich
I made this tonight and it was very good even with the substitutions I had to make. Only had a 15 oz can of the fire roasted tomatoes and used a box of unsalted chicken stock. No lemon so I used about 2 tbls red wine vinegar.
Now I know how to cut kale thanx π
By the way, I took an hour and a half to cook the lentils because of the high elevation!
Excellent recipe, just made it to day in anticipation of snowy conditions in Colorado, family loves it, thank you.
To not tear up while cutting onions try chewing gum
Have you ever considered making a cookbook π₯°
Indian style lentil curry is my favorite
Yesss a lentil soup…from Ethiopia
