Green Lentil and Vegetable Soup

Green Lentil and Vegetable Soup is a hearty comforting bowl of pulses and vegetables that are perfect to serve as a warming lunch or even as a light supper with lots of crusty bread. I’ve left the vegetables in nice big chunks and the green lentils add protein and thicken the broth to make a really satisfying meal. 

While Green Lentil and Vegetable Soup isn’t the most refined of fine dining.  It’s just the kind of food we like to eat on the farm when we have been working outside in the cold and rain. 

I also like to take a hearty, healthy soup like this to work for my lunch as it fills me up and then I don’t feel the need to snack later in the day.

Green Lentil and Vegetable Soup was one of the tastiest bowls of soup I have made for some time.  I usually use red lentils in my lentil soup,  so using green lentils was a bit of a change, but I’ll definitely be using them more often.

  1. It looks so thick and luscious and warming. A lovely recipe. I'm a massive lentil fiend at the moment so this is right up my street.

    1. I usually use red lentils, Manjiri but it's nice to have a change with the green lentils too. Glad you like the Stock pots.
