In reply to Lydie. Hi Lydie, because this has a relatively short active cooking time, I don't recommend it for the slow cooker. But if you want to try, you can sauté the initial ingredients, then add the rest and cook for 3-4 hours on low. I haven't tested it, but that's a rough estimate.

Love this lentil soup and have made it numerous times. I check recipes for fibre content and this has lots. Thank you.

We love this recipe and we add extra kale. It seems odd that in the comments and responses the explanation for draining the tomatoes is that it’s to reduce salt content, and yet salt is to be added to the dish? Seems counterintuitive.

This lentil soup is absolutely wonderful! I love how the combination of cumin and turmeric gives it such a warm, comforting flavor. I added a handful of fresh spinach at the end and it was perfect. The lemon juice at the finish really brightens everything up. This has become a weekly staple in our household – nutritious, filling, and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing this gem!

How could I make this in a new instant pot I received? Will it be as good?
Thank you.

How would you adjust this recipe for a slow cooker?

I love the Best Lentil Soup recipe. The spices are so good! I usually make it to the recipe, but sometimes throw in whatever produce I have on hand with or instead of the carrots. I know I can count on you whenever I need a good veggie-forward recipe!

In reply to Carolyn Sterrett. Hi Carolyn, yes it will have a different flavor, but you could substitute whatever type of greens you have on hand.
