Lentils are full of nutrients and one of my favorite plant based proteins. I’ve found them a bit easier to digest than other beans and they’re also a great source of vegan iron. There are so many different kinds of lentils nature has blessed us with. Black, green, red, yellow, and more. My preferred however is green lentils due to their texture and the way they cook and don’t mash out in the soup.

How to make Vegan Lentil Soup
Step One:
Chop the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic garlic into small bite sized pieces. Leave the thyme whole. Cut the red potatoes, celery, and carrots into small or desired chunks and set to the side.
Step Two:
Sauté the onion, thyme, garlic, and red bell pepper for about 3 minutes or until fragrant. Then, add in the dry seasoning and stir to combine cooking with the herbs for another 2 minutes. Add the lentils, potatoes, carrots, celery, water, and veggie broth. Close the pot and allow to cook for about 15-20 minutes.
Step Three: Once the lentils and veggies have cooked, salt to taste and serve!
