Tomato Lentil Recipes

My version without meat.

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

This healthy sauce is easy to make, tastes great, and is full of protein and fiber (10 g each!)

I cover lentils with 4 cups boiled water to soak for the time it takes me to chop/dice the vegetables; rinse and drain when it's time to add them to the recipe. I also use fresh tomatoes that I pureed rather than crushed. I have a kitchen gadget that removes the seeds and skins from tomatoes, so I used that and it went quickly. You could also use high quality canned crushed or pureed tomatoes. I calculated 16 cup yield from this recipe, or 2 cups per serving.

Sip on this soulful tomato and lentil soup by Love & Zest to warm you up on those cold winter days. Thickly pureed tomatoes and lentils lend a thicker body to the soup. This recipe also freezes well so make a batch to reheat on those really busy days.

Hearty vegetable pasta sauce with an added bump of protein from green lentils.

This simple recipe has so few ingredients, it can hardly be called a recipe. But it's loaded with iron!

Coriander, turmeric and cinnamon hit the spot in the vegetarian classic.

Serve alone, or with bread

Hearty low cal - high fibre

Whole Wheat Penne with Tomato Lentil & Arugula

A thick soup, almost like a stew.

From Clean Eating MAgazine (to be served with Chicken shawarma)

tomato and lentil soup with lots of potassium

Serves 2 as a main course, 4 as part of a meal. Nutritional information is for 2 servings. I use low sodium broth, but I think the nutritional information uses regular broth which is why the sodium content is so high.

This is a very rough recipe because I'm the kind of person to just chuck things together without measuring. Just adjust to taste; you could also add potato or use veggie stock instead of water. Just a very basic and quick soup; perfect with some nice fresh bread!

Just some food.

A nice, healthy soup that is very filling

Hearty, filling, and fast. A nice easy soup for a cold day! Lovely served witth biscuits or fresh bread. Alternatively, to make this more like a minestrone soup, add more water and add some cooked pasta. Also good with ground meat.
