My hearty Lentil Stew is a comforting flavorful meat-free stew recipe with tender lentils and veggies. An easy cozy meal in about 40 minutes!
This easy meat-free Lentil Stew is the perfect cozy meal for fall and winter, but it’s so tasty that you can honestly make it all year round.
It’s hard to think of anything more comforting than a steaming bowl of savory soup or stew. This delicious recipe is packed with vegetables, tender lentils, and simple seasonings, all cooked in chicken broth. The lentils are so hearty and flavorful, you won’t even miss the meat!
This lentil recipe is great for both weekends and weekdays. It’s an easy, one-pot meal with a pretty short prep time, and the red lentils don’t take too long to cook in the savory broth. Or, if you want your dinner ready when you get home in the evening, follow my slow cooker directions to prep it ahead of time. It can cook on low throughout the day and you get to come home to a delicious stew ready to serve!
