Slow Cooker Lentil Soup
- add review
- #22510
Lentils are one of the best choices for easy, healthy soups. Their mild flavor allows the fresh flavors of herbs and veggies to shine through while bulking up a simple soup and turning it into a hearty meal when matched with a crusty hunk of bread.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

First time making this recipe and it turned out really well. I did have to add salt but the broth I used may have had less salt than other brands.

I am trying to be healthy and I am not used to it at all but this soup was yummy and easy to make. I substituted carrots by potatoes and used a maggie cube instead of veggie broth because it is not available where I live. The result was great and I really like this soup. Thanks for the recipe.
