The Best Lentil Soup from Cookie+Kate

Updated: Mar 31, 2023

This vegan lentil soup recipe from Cookie+Kate is a MUST-TRY!

I whipped it up last night and can attest that it is nothing short of delicious. I’m already looking forward to leftovers. I loved that it was quick and easy to make.


After sautéing onions, carrots in olive oil, I added garlic and spices like cumin, thyme, curry powder to create a flavorful base. Next, green lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth are added to the pot to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils were tender.



Next, I pulled out my blender and blended two cups of my cooked soup. After returning this creamy mixture to the pot and adding chopped kale, I cooked the soup for an additional five minutes. I topped it off with a bit of lemon juice and additional seasoning to taste.


The result is a hearty and satisfying soup that's a perfect dish to enjoy throughout Spring, and it's packed with protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed!
