This hearty Lentil Soup lives up to its name as a stick-to-your-ribs comfort food classic. Packed with protein-rich lentils, carrots, and onions in a flavorful ham or vegetable stock, this simple yet satisfying soup comes together effortlessly in your crock pot. A perfect low-maintenance meal that develops rich flavor as it simmers, with the option to add meat or fresh spinach for extra variety.
This is a good soup and fun to make as it can be done in the crock pot.
Ingredients
2 qts water
3 Tbsp. of Better than Bouillon.. combine these, Ham flavor is best to make a stock , but vegetable can be used
3 medium carrots
1 large red onion, to taste
1/4 tsp of white pepper
1 lb (16 oz) of lentils
1 small can of diced tomatoes...dice your own fresh if you're watching your sodium
2 tsp of oil; canola is good but olive will give it a little more flavor
Directions
Throw all this together at once except the onion.
Put in the crock pot on high for an hour or so and when the lentils are almost soft, add the onions.
You can add a meat at the last few minutes if you wish or chiffonade a few spinach leaves.
It is a hearty soup but remember add what you like and enjoy.
Please serve with onion bread.
Serving Size: Serves 4 very large servings.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
