Red Lentil Soup Recipes

A wonderful full flavored red lentil soup.

The nutritional bang for the buck is phenomenal in this pot of healthfulness! Low fat, low carb, high fiber, high protein!!! I put turnips in mine, which I hate, and which you could leave out, but I guarantee you, you can't taste them at all! You can also use whatever fresh produce you have on hand, like carrots instead of the sweet potato, veggie broth rather than chicken to make it vegetarian friendly, a can of diced tomatoes if you don't have fresh, etc. Don't be afraid to experiment!

Delicious hearty soup that is warming for the winter months...or anytime of year.

Modified recipe from 101cookbooks.com

This is fabulous. From the kitchen of Clean Eating Magazine. Red lentils work the best but you could substitute green lentils. You can also add in other ingredients to suite your taste. It's got just the right amount of spice to it.

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.

A flavorful, hearty thick soup. You can make a meal out of it.

This rich and hearty soup is perfect for a Fall meal. The consistency is similar to a risotto, though much lower in fat.

This is one of my favorite soups.

Warming on a fall night, this one-pot meal provides both nourishing protein from lentils and antioxidants from superfood spinach.

Ingredient tip:
Masoor dal, a beautiful salmon-colored lentil, is skinned and split before purchase, so it cooks quickly and turns golden and soft when cooked. You can substitute brown or yellow lentils, though cooking time will increase a bit.
