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.

    I made it and had to add about 3 times the liquid suggested by the recipe. Not sure your proportions are correct.

    1. Make sure your tomatoes are undrained, there is a lot of liquid in there. And this soup, is a thicker stew, so it’s not that “soupy”. If you do like a soupy lentil soup, then adding liquid like you did works out great!

  2. Can you cook this on high instead of low crockpot heat?
