Easy Lentil Soup

Written by COA Nutrition Team On September 27, 2024

Delicious and nutritious! This Lentil soup takes 5 minutes to put together, set the crock-pot and go on with our day… Just perfect for a school night!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cup (about 8 ounces) red lentils
7 cups chicken broth (vegetable broth is perfect too)
1 small potato
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
cayenne pepper, or to taste
sea salt, or to taste
olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Chop the onion, garlic and potato to minimum, because it will get blended anyway.
Combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker and put it on high until it starts boiling (probably half an hour).
Turn it low and let it cook for 6-8 hours. If you don’t have time waiting until it starts boiling cook it for 8 – 10 hours on low or on high 4-5 hours.
Blend it after it’s cooked.

Yes, you should get an air fryer!

There are a lot of questions popping out when it comes to this latest kitchen craze. Is it worth buying an air fryer? Here are some reasons why we think so: • Easy to clean • Easy to use • Safe to use • Healthier meals • Doesn’t take up much space • Faster Than Oven Cooking An air fryer is an incredibly easy way to cook just about anything. You place the food in a fryer-style basket and hot air rapidly circulates all around the food, making the food crisp – much like deep-frying, but without the oil. You can cook anything you’d make in the oven. So, yes, DO IT!
