Our slow cooker lentil soup is a great addition to your comfort food recipe list. Made in the slow cooker, you can add the ingredients in the morning and come home to a hearty meal!
Slow Cooker Lentil Soup
Soups, stews, chowders and the like are on my go to list of things to make when we are tired of “regular meals”. You know, like pork chops with green beans, steak and potatoes, pizza and etc. Ok… well it takes a bit for me to get sick of pizza.
I have a recipe arsenal loaded with soup recipes like this hearty slow cooker lentil soup. This version was made on one of those “use up what we have, I need to do groceries” days. Since then I have made slightly different versions, but the broth and lentils are always the same. Have fun and experiment with your own versions too.
