Easy Crockpot Vegetable Lentil Soup Recipe
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.

Hi Corey,
If I don’t have a crockpot could I use my cast iron stove top dutch oven instead? Would you keep it on simmer in lieu of the low setting on a crockpot? Would you cook for the same length of time?
Thanks!
I would simmer for less time. Maybe 45 mins to an hour. Just until your veggies are tender. Let me know how it goes 🙂
Hi there! I really want to try this recipe tonight, but I’m short for time…do you think the recipe will work on high for 4 hours? Thanks!!
I think that should work. If you have a couple minutes to saute the thicker veggies to soften them a little bit before putting them into the crockpot, that might help too. Hope that helps!
Thanks for this recipe. The flavor is pretty good but I really don’t think it can be called a soup. It’s more like cooked lentils and vegetables with very little broth. To make it soupy, I’d reduce the lentils to 2 or 2 1/2 cups. I had to add 4 more cups of broth and it’s still not soupy. Will probably have to freeze the leftover lentils to add into other soups.
Thanks for the recipe! I added extra carrots and celery, and it came out almost too thick when I woke up this morning. Lentils absorbed more water than I thought. It turned out fine after I added 2 more cups of water. House smelled great!
Awesome recipe! I made it two weeks ago but I used split peas (I thought I had lentils!) and it was so yummy. I’m making it again this weekend for my son’s first birthday party…. This time with lentils 🙂
Yum! I bet the split peas tasted great too! haha
