This delicious lentil soup is ridiculously simple, it’s hard to imagine that it tastes as good as it does, but it really is outstanding. The flavors released by the vegetables combine perfectly. It’s super hearty, yet super low in calories, but most importantly it is crazy good! Even those who aren’t so into vegetable soups are gonna absolutely love it.
You can use chicken stock if you want for this lentil soup, I made it with a good quality vegetable bouillon and it turned out amazing. If you want some heat, throw in some fresh jalapeños or crushed red pepper.
There’s not too much work involved making this lentil soup, just chop up some veggies, throw it all together in a pot and wait about an hour for some of the best comforting soup ever!

Loved it! Added some spinach towards the end
Optional add ons might be raw or frozen spinach or kale, low-fat sausage or chicken sausage or turkey…
I just made this and it is quite nice. Halving all the ingredients still makes a lot.

love it!!!!
Please explain the 8 cups of stock, how many stock cubes do you use??
Use as many as it takes to create the flavor you want. I just buy the already made stock from the market in the soup section,
