Lentil Soup Recipes

This soup, based on a Turkish recipe given to me by a friend, is incredibly filling. (It is called Bride Ezo Soup.)

This hearty soup will warm you from the inside out.

Cooked lentils are high in calcium, potassium, zinc, and iron.

Low calorie, filling, and vegan

Fast, easy, great soup recipe that uses no meat. Great with garlic bread for dipping. Directions included for pressure cooker, crock pot, or regular soup pot!

This is a very nutritional soup, delicious on a cold winter day. Low fat, low cal, low carb, and rich in potassium and fiber. Serve with a whole wheat dinner roll or 9-grain bread.

I call this soup pseudo-sophisticated because of how gourmet it tastes, even though it is one of the easiest things to make! I got this recipe off of www.vegweb.com and I absolutely love it. I have made some modifications but its basically the same. This soup has AMAZING fiber and protein values.

After serving that Sunday or Easter ham, save the bones to make this hearty and delicious soup. This soup is definitely comfort food, at less than 100 calories per serving.

There is nothing more satisfying than a warm hearty and delicious soup when it's cold outside. This soup is versatile (add whatever veggies you have lying around), easy and nutritious. Adding both barley and lentils makes this more nutritionally complete for the veggies out there, but feel free to just use one or the other if you'd prefer. And the servings are large! If you're having this on the side, you'll get a lot more servings than mentioned! (also it freezes really well too! so make a batch and freeze in single-serve tupperware for easy lunches/dinners!)

I had a ham bone in the freezer that needed to be utilized, so I came up with this soup from the ingredients I had on hand.

My version without meat.

Hearty soup for spicy taste buds that is great for cold winter days, or any time of year. Good source of low-fat protein.

The Heidi Swanson recipe I make most often. I eat this with disturbing regularity, normally with a poached egg on top at home. When I take it to work for lunch I take an avocado with me to add after I've reheated it.

Low calorie, high protein, easy-to-make soup. Flavorful and delicious! You'll not believe how smoky-tasty it smells while cooking! We usually smoke the whole turkey on Thanksgiving so I cooked it with the turkey leftovers. I also prefer to serve it with soft goat cheese on top, it melts in warm plate and adds a very mild dairy creaminess to the dish.

Filling soup with lentils, sauteed onions, carrots, celery and garlic with Italian seasoning. Adding chopped spinach and vinegar at the end is the key. A hearty vegetarian entree if you substitue vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Really good the 2nd day!

My favorite soup which is delicious and low fat.

This was supposed to be a side dish that i found in CL - but i didn't have all of the ingredient, or enough of them... But it turned into a pretty good soup!

A great tasting hearty soup! Serve with whole wheat pitas and a nice salad and this is not only yummy, but good for you too!

Nice on a cold Canadian evening.

This is a Turkish favorite soup

Comfort foods needn't be high fat or high calorie.

Red lentils look very pretty, until they are cooked! This soup isn't necessarily beautiful to look at, but it is extremely tasty and filled with vitamins, protein, and fiber. I adapted it from a recipe I found in a vegan cookbook, and gave it a little more flavor with kale, seasonings, and smoked paprika. I LOVE smoked paprika, and I strive to put it in almost everything!

With this soup, you can easily get lunch or dinner on the table in under an hour. Serve with lemon wedges, toasted whole-grain pita bread, and a side salad for a filling meal. If you'd like the soup to be even creamier, stir in some plain, unsweetened soy yogurt (for vegans) orG Greek Yogurt (for vegetarians) before serving.

Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt and some naan bread.
