Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups dried green or brown lentils, rinsed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium sweet potato or Yukon gold potato, diced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 6 cups vegetable broth (or water + bouillon)
  • 2 cups chopped kale or spinach (added at the end)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Load the Crockpot:

    • Add lentils, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, sweet potato, diced tomatoes, and all spices to the slow cooker.
    • Pour in the vegetable broth and give everything a good stir.
  2. Cook:

    • Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until lentils and veggies are tender.
  3. Add Greens & Lemon:

    • In the last 15–20 minutes, stir in chopped kale or spinach and lemon juice. Cook until greens are wilted and tender.
  4. Serve:

    • Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Want it thicker? Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup.
  • Add fresh ginger or cayenne for an extra detox kick.
  • Great for meal prep! Soup thickens as it sits—add broth or water to loosen when reheating.
