This cozy and super delicious Slow Cooker Lentil Soup is an easy vegetarian recipe filled with hearty lentils, vegetables, flavorful herbs, and spinach.
Today I’m sharing a wonderful, comforting vegetarian soup that I’ve been making regularly for meatless Monday. Sometimes, all I’m craving is a bowl full of veggies and nourishment, and this cozy lentil soup with hearty potatoes delivers.
You can make this recipe in a crock pot or in a slow cooker, whichever one you have handy. This makes it perfect to set and forget, only to return to a comforting pot of homemade soup brimming with flavor.
Then it’s just a matter of finishing it off with some greens, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and there you have it! Delicious and satisfying lentil soup, made without lifting a finger (well, barely).
