Lentil soup is a classic vegetarian soup recipe. It’s hearty, healthy, delightfully filling (with plant-based protein), and warming on those cold, wintery days. While there are many variations of lentil soup, you can’t go wrong with a simple, Mediterranean version.
I always love an easy, one-pot soup recipe like this as it’s easy to meal prep and reheat. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner and it’s naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free, making it perfect for almost all your guests!

Widget not in any sidebars
Delicious
Thank you!
Put a fan at ur back and u will never cry slicing 1kilo onions
Anyone else wear contacts and never get onion tears?
Good nice video very much
If you want lentils to cook quicker leave the tomatoes out until the lentils are cooked then add them it will half the cooking time, try it.
Looks good, but why add lemon?
She wasted some ingredients so I skipped ads.
It’s flavorful and comforting. Thank you Lisa
I'd prolly leave out one or all the herbs (THYME, OREGANO, BASIL) … I find they're three of the worst herbs to combine in a soup … I can't think of anything worse …
THIS LOOKS SO GOOD….TFS
Is it bpa free and is Amazon a reliable place to purchase it? Will Vitamix honor warranty if you purchase it from Amazon?
just wondering, do you soak your lentils first?
this truly is such a good recipe! my family enjoyed it a lot
This looks soooo delicious. I love lentils… but I never had it with Kale. I'll definitely try it . Thanks for sharing.
If you slice the onions near an open flame ie candle or gas stove burner you will not have tears.
This is an excellent soup. I added freshly chopped spinach and lime juice. It’s flavorful and comforting. 😋 Thank you, Lisa!
Wear goggles! You'll wonder why you hadn't started sooner
I love your little tips and tricks in videos such as how to select right produce for the recipe or advice for cutting. It really makes entire cooking process enjoyable experience. Love your recipes
If you try breathing with only your mouth and consciously avoid using your nose while cutting the onion it might help with the tears I know it helps me.
A burning candle right beside you cutting the onion helps. It bursts the gases from the onion. 😁
Happy Thursday 🐱 this is by far the best Lentil Soup recipe I have cone across. Thank you so much. I love these beans and I was looking for a good soup recipe. Sadly I have searching for one since last year😞. I am happy I was looking for more soup recipes and then one pops up. Thanks a million 🙂. Have a wonderful day peace love and blessings 🙏❤️🕊️
You can always tell a natural cook.
This person is not a natural cook. She is a marketing ploy.
No thumbs up or down. Just plain, later dudette.
Just made it now, so lovely…thank you !
Looks so delicious. Thanks for posting.
Have the water on by the sink, it takes off much of the onion oils and it won't bother you that much.
