✨ Struggling to convince your little ones (and let’s be honest, yourself too!) to embrace wholesome food?

✨ Craving something comforting and heartwarming that feels like a hug in a bowl?

If you nodded “yes” to any of the above, this Lentil Soup recipe is about to become your new go-to! It’s simple, satisfying, and packed with goodness—perfect for busy weeknights or lazy Sundays.

🥣 Ingredients

• 200–250 g dried lentils, rinsed and drained

• 2–3 tbsp olive oil

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 carrot, diced

• 1 celery stalk, diced

• 1 tbsp tomato paste

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 tsp ground turmeric

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp curry powder

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp ground ginger

• 4–5 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

🥄 Preparation

The beauty of this soup? It’s ridiculously easy to make!

1. Simply place all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a gentle boil.

2. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer slowly for about 40–45 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and tender.

3. If the soup thickens too much during cooking, feel free to add a bit of water to maintain that perfect soupy consistency.

   
   

And that’s literally it—no fuss, no fancy steps!

Before serving:

Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for Happy Tummies

• Kid-friendly trick: If your little ones aren’t fans of lentil soup, try mixing it with a bit of cooked rice. It’s a great combo and works wonderfully in lunch boxes too!

• Customize the flavor: The spices listed are just a suggestion. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your family’s taste. Personally, I find this blend transforms a humble lentil soup into a flavorful, exciting, and super healthy dinner option!
