▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENT LIST: (6 to 8 servings)
2 cups / 400g Brown lentils
water to soak the lentils
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion - 1 heaping cup / 150g - chopped
3 stalks of celery - 1 heaping cup / 150g - chopped
2 medium carrots - 1 heaping cup / 150g - chopped
1 medium red bell pepper - 1 heaping cup / 150g - chopped
5 cups (firmly packed) / 250g spinach - chopped
1/2 cup / 45g Parsley - finely chopped
6 cloves of garlic - chopped (2 tablespoons approx.)
450ml / 2 cups approx. - Strained tomatoes OR Passata OR Tomato puree
6 cups / 1500ml Water
2 teaspoons Oregano
2 teaspoons Thyme
(alternatively you can add dry Italian herb mix)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (OPTIONAL)
Salt to taste (I have added in total 2+1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoon olive oil for garnish (I have used organic cold pressed olive oil)
(If you want to make a smaller batch cut the recipe in half)
▶️ METHOD:
Soak the brown lentils for about 5 to 6 hours or until tender. Once soaked well drain it and set it aside.
Heat a large pot (I have used a cast iron casserole). Add onion, carrot, celery, red bell pepper and salt and fry it on medium high to high heat (depending on the heat of your stove). Adding salt will help release water from the vegetables and help it cook faster so please don't skip this step. The goal is to brown the veggies as it will add a lot of flavour to this dish. It will take about 6 to 7 minutes. Once the veggies start to brown, add the chopped garlic and fry for another 2 minutes or so.
Add the strained tomatoes, lentil, oregano, thyme, cumin, cayenne, salt and water. Mix it well and cover the lid and bring it to a vigorous boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook it for about 1 hour.
After an hour, remove the lid. (check to see if the lentils are soft, if not cook it for a bit longer) and give it a good stir. Now increase the heat to medium high to high (depending on the heat of your stove) and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add the chopped spinach and cook it for about 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat. Garnish it with chopped parsley, ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use a good quality olive oil as it will add to the flavour. Mix it well. Make sure to taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.
If the stew gets too think add some boiling water to thin it out. Do not use cold water as it will ruin the taste. This is a perfect recipe for meal prep. you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- If the stew gets too think after cooking, then add some boiling water to thin it out. DO NOT use cold water as it will ruin the taste
- if you do not have time to soak the lentils, just wash it well and cook it for longer but soaking it makes it easier for digestion
- This is a perfect recipe for meal prep so you can make a big batch of it and freeze it in portions to consume later
- if you want to make a smaller batch, cut the recipe in half
Enjoy!

Thanks for watching the video Homestyle Lentil Soup for a Vegetarian and Vegan Diet | Easy Lentil Soup Recipe! - Навчання та стиль
Just made it today! I've been cooking lentils for many years, but this recipe is the most delicious and full of flavours! Thank you so much!
Thank you! So glad you liked it! :)
It will be mine today too !
Same here! Thanks so much
I second that, absolutely delicious!
So much appreciation for not chopping veggies in front of the camera. , short, sweet and educational . Thank you.
That's what I was thinking too! LOL
I know right?!
You didn't see her chopping parsley? Lol
@@mads2131 I'll give that a pass ;-) lol
@@cynthiavickers8099 I wouldn't
It’s such a simple thing but I never thought to put the strainer in the bowl while soaking the lentils…it makes straining the lentils easier. Thanks for the tip.
I really love your videos! No unnecessary talking, no annoying music, just lovely easy music and your recipes are really good! Thank you!
Thank you! :)
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe, looks very good. I love this format of no talking with soft music in the background, awesome 💜
Me too
god speed 🌟
Me too.. it makes the art of cooking such a therapeutic thing actually
Works a treat. Stew just coming up to boiling as I write. I have left the salt until the end as I was taught it can toughen lentils. Would be interested to know if this is a myth. Many thanks.
if you've tried it can you tell me how does this taste ??
I’ve been cooking from your Channel for more than 2 weeks now my boys are vegan & they’re all delicious I’m trying the recipes one after the other thanks a lot you have no idea how much your recipes are helping me 👏🏼♥️♥️
Thanks! So great to hear that. Glad you’re enjoying the recipes ❤️
This looks great, thank you! I love that you don't use coconut milk or veg stock, like many other recipes. I also love your choice of veggies, and for once have all the ingredients! I'm newly vegan, and so happy to have found your channel 😊
Stupid question but why not vegetable stock?
@@cdart3519 oh
@@cdart3519 Is this an actual thing and where on earth does that happen? Never ever did I see or hear about that here in Germany.
@@cdart3519 please don't tell me you are referring to "may contain traces of..". This is because the production line also makes none veggy products..in other batches. Not simultaneously. This does only concern people with incredibly high intolerances to certain food items - mostly not even them.
If hygiene standards are even 90% met in production, this will not have any meaning whatsoever.
Exquisite production! Perfect recipe. Nutritiously superb. Love everything about how you make all your cooking so clear. Timing is impeccable. Thank you!
CMsJean - Thank you! :)
Oh my god, this is a fabulous stew! We made it yesterday, followed the instructions to the T (detailed ingredient list and method are much appreciated) and enjoyed it so much, thank you.
