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.

definitely needs more liquid than the recipe calls for,added 8 oz of water and 15oz of tomato…threw in some spinach, I thought it was really good
Yes, if you like a soupier soup, that’s a great idea to add in some more liquid. I LOVE your addition of spinach too 🙂
needs more liquid but it was really good, I added a cup of water and another 15oz can of diced tomatoes and I threw in a handful of spinach
Four cups of lentils! Way too much lentils to liquid! It turned out like the consistency of a thick chili. I will question portions should I make any of your recipes.
Yes Nancy, this is a thick and hearty soup. We love our lentil soup to be thick like chili. YUM! If you are looking for a soupier soup, feel free to add some more broth.
Sounds Delicious! Do you need to soak the lentils over night?
No Patty, you just toss them in. No soaking required. 🙂
I just found this by googling “slow cooker lentil soup” and it sounds great! I am about to try it right now. I will add chopped kale because that’s how I always make lentil soup. 🙂
YUM! I love kale 🙂
