    Vegan Crockpot Lentil Soup

    Its crockpot season!

    Pretty sure this is my first ever crockpot recipe!! How is that even possible after having this blog for almost 7 years?! Who knows. Crockpot cooking must become a thing when you turn 30 LOL. So, since I really need to start a crockpot collection, say hello to my Vegan Crockpot Lentil Soup! Lentils are packed with protein, fiber and vitamins, and are surprisingly delicious.

    I love how you can set it and forget it. Throw everything in and get on with your day!

    And now that its officially fall I feel like whipping out the crockpot is acceptable. This scrumptious soup is for all the busy people that still want to eat healthy but with minimal clean up and effort. And say hello to leftovers for lunch! Whenever I cook, I really try to make extra for leftovers because I’m a lazy kid at heart. And leftovers are SO MUCH BETTER the next day. So you’ll have 6-7 servings from this depending on portion sizes. Serve with sourdough bread, crackers or a side salad. Mmmhmmm.

    The many benefits of lentils:

    • heart healthy with health-promoting polyphenols
    • packed with iron, folate, magnesium and potassium
    • hefty amount of plant based protein – one cup equals 18 grams!
    • loaded with fiber – one cup equals 15 grams!
    • versatile and can be used so many ways

    For me, soup must be well-rounded and totally balanced in flavor. A little spice, smokiness and saltiness with a little tang. I used red pepper flakes, smoked paprika and red wine vinegar to achieve this tasty palate-pleasing recipe. I could eat it for lunch or dinner everyday, I swear.

    Feel free to add in other veggies you have on hand (like bell peppers, peas, parsnips), or even nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. But I love it just how it is.

      So good!! I made it in the instant pot. I sautéed the onion, garlic, carrots and celery together, then dumped everything but the red wine vinegar in. I set the IP for 13 minutes and did manual release after 10 minutes. I stirred in the red wine vinegar at the end and it turned out perfect!. You don’t need to add the extra cup of water unless you want it turn out more like a stew than a chili. Another great GF recipe!!
