Vegetable Lentil Soup is warm, comforting, and healthy. If you love healthy soup recipes, this one is for you. Vegetable Lentil Soup RecipeIf you’re looking for something that will help you keep eating healthy even when you’re craving heavy comfort foods (whhhyyyy do you do this to us, winter?) then soup is your answer.

Not only is soup a warm, comforting, and satisfying meal, it also helps greatly when life gets busy. I will make huge, double batches of soup so I have quick and easy meals for those times during the week when I don’t have time to do anything more than heat up my food. Healthy Vegetable Lentil Soup Recipe

I don’t anticipate writing another cookbook anytime soon, but if I ever do, I’d love to write a soup cookbook. I have so much fun creating new soup recipes and I never get sick of eating soup! I will link more of my favorite healthy soup recipes below so you can have inspiration to keep new soups in your rotation all winter long!

I’d also love to know what other soup recipes you’d like to see, so let me know what I can create for you! Either comment here or on Facebook or Instagram.

Vegetable Lentil Soup Ingredients

This Vegetable Lentil soup is a vegan and gluten-free soup that has a good amount of protein. The lentils are also a great source of iron and fiber.

  • lentils
  • vegetable broth
  • zucchini
  • red bell pepper
  • onions
  • carrot
  • celery

    The soup looks very healthy. Just like The Man Shake, as they provide a broad range of supplements. I have been using it for so long.

    The vegetable lentil soup recipe is NOT an AIP diet,especially during Phase I. The recipe contains several foods from the nightshade group i.e. tomatoes and bell peppers and legumes. All of which contain harmful lectins that triggers an inflammation response in the gut. Lectins are reduced with soaking or cooking but not completely eliminated. Many people with autoimmune conditions are still very sensitive and typically have to eliminate these types of foods in their diet. As a health care professional working with autoimmune patients,I would not recommend this recipe in Phase I or II until all triggers are controlled. I suggest adding a note to recipe to avoid confusion to a newly AIP person

      I didn’t call this an AIP diet recipe, nor do I call any of my recipes such, so this is why I don’t include notes for this. Thanks for your feedback.

    It’s really tasty and awesome Maryea! I am from Perth and love your recipes. I made this soup 15 days ago. My kids were pushing me to make this soup. So I bought some grocery and the best thing was I got 65% off via local Aussie site https://www.emucoupon.com/codes/food-and-drinks. I remembered I added some purple potatoes, and the flavors were astounding and that lemon juice in there 🙂
