Vegan Lentil Soup

Three things make this vegetarian lentil soup so good: caramelized onions, toasted tomato paste (it’s easy!), and lots of carrots and celery. I love to enjoy my rest day with Vegan dishes like this recipe. It makes me feel lighter in my body and soul.

instructions vegan lentil soup

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large soup pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and a small pinch of salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are just soft, about 5 minutes.

Add in the potatoes, thyme, oregano and paprika and cook another 5 minutes, stirring so the potatoes don’t burn but get just a little crisp on the outside.

Add the tomatoes, broth, bay leaves, water, lentils and bring to a boil, then reduce heat a simmer for 45 minutes or until lentils are very tender.
