This soup is jam-packed with so many wholesome, feel-good ingredients. Let’s count them up, shall we? comment icon 1273 more comments I see you. I know you think I’m not watching because I’m on the other side of this computer-ma-jig, but I’m watching (um, in a not-creepy and not-literal way – just felt like I should clarify. pls don’t leave.). So since I see you and understand you because I am just like you in these feelings, today I honor you (us?) with this super cozy, big-time nutritious, easy to prepare soup. This is called Detox Crockpot Lentil Soup, which means nothing scientifically as you’ll notice that my bowl of DETOX soup is topped with a few thick chunks of Parmesan cheese and served with that addicting crusty-warm bread. Right, about that. We did sneak a few good foods into this soup (kale, onions, garlic, carrots, and olive oil) and anyways, in my book, the best kinds of healthy foods are the ones that ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD. And while this soup tastes good without the extras, it tastes BETTER with them. Cue the bread and cheese.

butternut squash carrots, celery, and onion (or mirepoix) potatoes green lentils and yellow split peas (you can use more green lentils if you can’t find split peas) garlic broth herbs de provence kale and fresh parsley a swish of olive oil and red wine vinegar at the end

How To Make This Lentil Soup Recipe

As is my goal with most recipes I make for Pinch of Yum, this crockpot lentil soup was made for real life. Because it’s literally for my real life. I ended mine with a splash of sherry and red wine vinegar because I’m currently having a moment with tangy foods.

What To Serve with Lentil Soup

There’s a lot going on in this soup, but if you want to round it out with more in the meal, I’d recommend a few extras:

No Knead Bread (YES) No Knead Cheese Bread (DOUBLE YES) House Favorite Garlic Bread (TRIPLE YES) One-Ingredient Socca (yummy gluten-free flatbread for dipping purposes) A simple green salad (like this one!)

That’s it. That’s the soup. SO EASY. It requires a bit of front-end chopping to prep the veggies, but I’d guess it took me 30-45 minutes to cut everything up and get it in the crockpot, and in return I was gifted with 8 soup servings of this nutritious + cozy wonderfood. NOT A BAD DEAL. Cheers to you and your people enjoying many glowing bowls of crockpot lentil soup for all the days to come. 👍👍👍
