Time 2h25m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, sliced (on the diagonal is pretty)
2 tablespoons minced garlic cloves (or 3 cloves, finely chopped)
2 (1 lb) bags dried lentils, rinsed and sorted
2 lbs frozen vegetables (I like the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot blend)
4 cups broth (I prefer vegetable)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)

Steps:

Heat oil in non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook until crisp-tender (about 3-5 minutes). Add garlic and saute, being careful not to burn.
Combine this with remaining ingredients in a large Crock-Pot. Cook on Low 4 hours or on High 2 hours, or until lentils are tender.
Garnish with shredded mozzarella cheese and finely chopped roasted red peppers. You could also serve over or stir in your favorite pasta or rice.
NOTE: For more crisp-tender texture, add the frozen veggies during last 30-60 minutes of cooking time. My kids don't like the taste of celery, so I chop it very finely so that it "disappears" in the soup.
For Vegetarian you must use Vegetable Broth.

Tips:

Enhance the flavor of your lentil veggie soup by using vegetable broth instead of water. Vegetable broth adds a rich, savory flavor to the soup, making it more satisfying and enjoyable.
If you want a thicker soup, you can add 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice, quinoa, or barley. This will give the soup a heartier texture and make it more filling.
Customize the vegetables in the soup to your liking. You can add or omit any vegetables you don't prefer, and you can also add other vegetables that you enjoy, such as corn, green beans, or bell peppers.
For a creamier soup, blend 1/2 cup of the cooked soup until smooth and then stir it back into the pot. This will give the soup a velvety texture and make it even more comforting.
Serve the soup with a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture. Some popular toppings include croutons, shredded cheese, chopped fresh herbs, and sour cream.

This lentil veggie soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is packed with protein, fiber, and vegetables, and it is also low in calories and fat.
