- 16 ounces dried lentils
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 small onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- 1 cup baby carrots cut into small pieces
- 2 celery stalks finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- salt to taste
Place all of the ingredients in your crockpot, cover, and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.
Once the cooking time is up, season generously with Kosher salt and give it a good stir. Serve with parmesan cheese, if desired, and enjoy!
- Make sure your crockpot is plugged in! I've made that mistake plenty of times.
- Season the lentil soup with lots of Kosher salt once it's done cooking. If you don't season it generously with salt, it will turn out super bland.
- The longer this soup sits, the thicker it will become, but you can add more broth to thin it out.
- Want to make it spicy? Add cayenne pepper!
- I love serving it with bread, but this also goes great with white rice.
- Feel free to throw in some crispy bacon or ham for extra flavor.
