This easy vegetable lentil soup is light, healthy and packed full of good-for-you ingredients. It’s easy to customize and makes a great main dish or a side.
We absolutely love making lentil soup, especially this recipe. Not only is it easy to make but it’s even easier to customize! This soup is light and hearty, and best of all, healthy! It’s loaded with big chunks of carrots and celery and has a kick to it thanks to red pepper flakes. Of course, if you don’t want the added heat, you can certainly omit that ingredient. Sometimes we like to add ground sausage or pulled rotisserie chicken to bulk it up a bit. You can add just about anything to it and it always turns out delicious!
This lentil vegetable soup can be made in 45 minutes on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. The time will be about the same- just with the Instant Pot you have the option of letting it “keep warm” for several hours if you plan on making it ahead of time. I’m a nap time dinner maker, so this option is always appealing to me.
