Healthy Veggie Lentil Soup

Name: Healthy Veggie Lentil Soup
Cook time: 20 min
Ingredients: 1 tbsp avocado oil; 1 diced large yellow onion; 4 minced garlic cloves; 1 tsp paprika; 1 tsp garlic powder; salt (to taste); pepper (to taste); 4 large carrots; 1 large sweet potato; 2 bell peppers; 2 cups uncooked red lentils; 6 cups water or veggie broth; 1 cup tomato sauce / marinara sauce; 16 oz baby spinach (can use less or more but keep in mind it cooks down a lot!)

This recipe is one of my staples because it’s packed with lots of veggies and protein! This recipe also makes a large portion (so use a big pot!), which is perfect for meal prepping!

Ingredients

Directions

1
Start by heating up the avocado oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add in your onion, garlic cloves, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the onions are cooked and become translucent.
2
Next chop and add in all of the veggies and lentils, except for the spinach. Add in your water or veggie broth and tomato sauce.
3
Bring the soup to a boil and then simmer for 15-20 min or until your lentils and veggies are cooked and the soup has thickened. Stir the soup consistently.
4
Optional: Pour 1/3 of the soup into a high speed blender and blend until smooth. Add this back into the soup and stir.
5
Lastly, add in your baby spinach handfuls at a time and mix until it’s all cooked down.
