Lentil Soup starts to sound extra delicious to me as soon as the fall season approaches.  The absolute best way to make lentil soup is in the slow cooker. This Easy Crockpot Vegetable Lentil Soup Recipe has been a family favorite ever since Big D was a baby. The soft veggies were perfect finger foods for her little fingers.  Ahhh the memories 🙂

Now that my girls are getting older, they ask for this soup all the time.  And I am MORE than happy to make this veggie packed soup for them.

  6. I am making this right now and it seems like there wont be enough liquid?? I am 4 hours into the cooking time, should I put more broth or is it supposed to be a thick soup?

    1. If you like a soupier soup, you can add more water or broth. Lentil soup tends to be a a thick soup, but more liquid wouldn’t hurt anything if that is your taste 🙂

    2. Did you end up putting more liquid into the soup? I have the same issue… halfway through and it looks like there’s NO liquid in my crockpot. Help!

  7. i am definitely going to start this tonight before bed for tomorrows dinner. sounds and looks very yummy.

  8. This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it 🙂 Did you use red, green or brown lentils?

    1. I actually used both green and red 🙂 I think any lentil would work out great!

      1. Great, thanks so much! My crockpot just arrived, going to try this tonight 🙂
