VERY BEST LENTIL SOUP | vegetarian one-pot lentil soup recipe

Lentil soup is a classic vegetarian soup recipe. It's hearty, healthy, delightfully filling (with plant-based protein), and warming on those cold, wintery days. While there are many variations of lentil soup, you can't go wrong with a simple, Mediterranean version. I always love an easy, one-pot soup recipe like this as it's easy to meal prep and reheat. It's perfect for lunch or dinner and it's naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free, making it perfect for almost all your guests! 🖨 Printable Lentil Soup recipe: https://downshiftology.com/recipes/very-best-lentil-soup/ Sign up for weekly emails (never miss a recipe!): https://mailchi.mp/downshiftology/youtube/ Join the private Facebook group of fellow Downshifters around the world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/downshiftologycommunity/ ► PRODUCTS MENTIONED: Vitamix Immersion Blender: https://amzn.to/36Xoenc Round Dutch Oven: https://amzn.to/2IPzA4F Silicone Utensils: https://bit.ly/37z5auN Green Lentils: https://amzn.to/39dpZPA Soup Bowls (similar): https://bit.ly/3pQTOLL Lemon Juicer: https://amzn.to/3pZkf2f ► ALWAYS IN MY KITCHEN: Counter Stools: http://bit.ly/2tUNvZG Vitamix Blender: https://amzn.to/2NjFp75 Spiralizer: https://amzn.to/2N37WRy Tea Kettle: http://amzn.to/2uuNSMp Utensil Holder: http://bit.ly/2tVfGaH Flour Jars: https://amzn.to/30UZESn Salt Cellar: https://amzn.to/2UUyK9r Knife Set: http://bit.ly/2tUGzMa Cutting Board: https://amzn.to/2Vskgv9 Glass Mixing Bowls: https://amzn.to/2L2hx6O Magnetic Measuring Spoons: https://amzn.to/2YIeKYT Magnetic Measuring Cups: https://amzn.to/3hAJu6A For everything else I use in my videos, check out the SHOP page on my website: https://downshiftology.com/shop/ ► TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:47 Slice vegetables for mirepoix 02:38 Add mirepoix vegetables to a large pot with oil and saute 03:02 Add tomato paste, garlic, and spices 03:35 Add diced tomatoes, broth, and lentils, then simmer 04:24 Juice lemon and slice kale leaves 04:56 Overview of the Vitamix Immersion Blender 06:08 Use the immersion blender to create a cremier texture 06:39 Add kale, and lemon juice 06:59 Serve the soup into bowls or meal prep and store 07:50 Taste test ► WHAT I'M WEARING Long Sleeve Tshirt (similar): https://bit.ly/3m0FmyM Jeans: http://bit.ly/32Fq7l5 Linen Apron: http://bit.ly/2twA32E The music I use: https://bit.ly/2Ms5nF2 - Great music for YouTubers!
