After a long day at work, there's nothing better than coming home to a ready meal. Lovely! Since we got a slow cooker, this vegetarian lentil soup recipe has been on the table quite regularly. We chop the vegetables the evening before. In the morning before I leave for work, I put all the ingredients in the slow cooker and switch it on. In the evening we can sit down to eat straight away: so convenient! Of course you can also reheat it in a pot on the stove!

How to make vegetarian lentil soup?

Peel the carrots and sweet potato. Slice the carrots into rounds and cut the sweet potato into cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash the celery and slice it into pieces. Rinse the lentils and chickpeas.
To heat on the stovetop: Add the spices first and then the diced tomatoes. Once the tomatoes have softened, add 1.5 L of broth (or add water, bring it to a boil and then add bouillon cubes). Bring to the boil and add the vegetables. Let them simmer gently for about 10–15 minutes. Then add the drained and rinsed lentils. Let the whole pot simmer gently for another 15 minutes.
Using a slow cooker: Place all the vegetables in the slow cooker. Add the spices first and then the diced tomatoes. Stir briefly. Then add the broth. Set the slow cooker to the lowest setting and the timer for 6 hours. After that, the lentil soup is ready.
