Need a veggie soup recipe? I already went through a pot this week and am going to make another one to carry us through the weekend! What’s one of your favorite veggie soup recipes?
I am always looking for new ideas!
Lentil Veggie Soup
- 4 stalks of celery, chipped into small pieces
- 3 onions, diced
- 1 cup of baby carrots, diced
- 1/2 lb. or 1.5 cups of brown lentils, rinsed
- 1 butternut squash, peeled then diced (or sweet potato or regular potato)
- a few handfuls of fresh kale or spinach
- 1 can of low (or no) sodium diced tomatoes, with juice
- 2 lg. boxes of vegetable broth – no/low sodium
- 2 tsp. Mrs. Dash garlic and herb
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 2 cubes of frozen minced garlic
- 3 cubes of frozen fresh basil
- pepper, salt and nutritional yeast to taste
- *also, I added garam masala into my leftover soup today and it was great.
- Dice carrots, onions, celery and put into a large pot with 1 c. water and the garlic cubes and fresh garlic. Simmer mixture for 5-10 minutes until veggies begin to soften and water is almost evaporated.
- Add in all veggie broth and lentils, tomatoes (with juice) seasonings, basil and some fresh pepper.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes at a low boil until lentils soften.
- In the meantime, peel and dice the squash. Place squash on a glass dish and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften squash.
- Add soften cubes of squash and fresh kale to soup and continue simmering.
- Once all veggies have reached your desired consistency, remove from heat and serve with warm crusty bread.
This looks awesome and I love that you incorporated squash! It makes a soup so much more filling and flavorful in my opinion. Plus, its a great way to boost the fiber content. Can’t wait to give this a try!
can’t get enough of lentil lately! this looks great!
This is being made TODAY! As I sit and listen to cold rain fall all I’m thinking about is your soup 🙂
I already need another batch! Something about the first few pots of soup in the fall – the best!!
I know! I am in such a lentil mood lately – they are warm and comforting!
Thanks so much! I can’t get enough squash! I just got a 50lb. basket from a local farmer so get ready for more!! 🙂
