Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe

- This delicious Lentil soup recipe is jam-packed with spices and caramelized vegetables to bring about an incredibly flavorful soup. This is one of the easiest-to-make most nutritious soups on my website and the taste is beyond amazing.
Lentils are a legume that is indigenous to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Countries. They are seeds of a plant that are jam packed with fiber, potassium and protein and make for a great meat replacement.
Since lentils are starchy, earthy in flavor, and can be on the bland side, there are many ways to make them flavorful including by adding them into soup. When other ingredients are introduced that compliment lentils like onions, garlic, spices, and lemon, the taste is out of this world.
There are many variations of lentil soup depending on where you live so do not be surprised if you see different ingredients in it. My version is much more of a Middle Eastern Lebanese style.

Wow! I’m a 75 year old man who rarely cooks but I was looking for a soup recipe that would be like the soup my mom made. This is a lot like it and I was blown away by how delicious it is. I added a sweet potato to it because that’s what I remember my mom saying about her “secret ingredient “ and it was a good addition. When I served it I added a dollop of sour cream too. I will definitely make this again.
Can your fellow UA-cam viewers pop round for some? 😅
Well done! It's nice to find a soup you like, then add something traditional to make it just like Mom's.😊
I made it tonight, without adding carrots & celeries b'coz i don't have. It came out very delicious me & my little sister loved it so much & eaten it fully. Thanks for great recipe.
I love lentil soup. This recipe is almost exactly like my Mom used to make. She had a restaurant and this was so popular. It would sell out quickly. I wish she was still around, but this brought back great memories of her. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and for sharing that story about your mom.
@@ChefBillyParisi will your homemade lentil soup mix freeze
I make this soup a lot. I do housesits and leave this soup for the home owner before I leave. It goes down a treat. I think the lemon is the ingredient that gives it that extra punch. Love this soup.
Lentils, carrots, celery but I use scallions instead of onions, add or garnish with cilantro, add salt at the end. Serve with french bread and butter. Makes a hearty, filling meal.
Seen lots of Lentil soup recipes But, this one is the best its the caramelized onions and browning of the carrots,celery, taking your time
Billy I want to thank you for creating simple recipes and ever since I’ve been watching your channel I’ve been trying several can’t stop cooking. I’ve tried this recipe and the lasagna and I use to buy my lunch now thanks to you I’ve saved a ton of money. Keep it coming cause I’ve tried other sites boy oh boy nothing compares to your simple quality recipes. Very happpy thank you again.
Just made this. So dang good! The caramelized onions are everything! Thank you, Billy!
Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe 1318pm 16.5.22 i told my mother to caramelize her onions when she created a soup. but she wouldn't have it. sweat off yer 2 onions (to caramelize you can use sugar); add taters after blanching and add lentils after blanching; sweat off all ingredients... and then add water.. leave on hob to warm. switch off hob. blend the veg with, you guessed it, a blender! and then add the rest of lentils to simmer with depleting heat. a very simple and cost effective rendition of an old favourite. of course you can add carrots, even more tater and celery, leek... and all manner of b.s - to suit yer own proclivities. and on another tack - it's the fact yer going crazy that you decided to make some home made soup.

@@sassyt1545 Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe 0941am 25.5.22 the fine tradition of decent cooking is upon us again, i feel. now that blokes or women, for that matter, have gotten over the fact that microwave chips might not pass muster 24/7 - as the snack of choice. and men in the kitchen still being frowned upon one thinks: all hail the hairy bikers and rick stein etc etc etc for at least allowing us a glimpse into the world of the culinary dilettente - the viewer of these fine televisual vehicles being the dilettentes asked to partake in some am dram cooking escapades, not the chefs themselves being the dilettentes (sic).... even ade edmonsdon did his bit to further the aims of some dolt trynna implant the odd meal in front of a degraded male routine. that said; if that particular woman feels the kitchen is her domain then i aint gonna argue. erm... in short i have just prepared my own lentil soup - chilli lentil and onion soup - taters added to thicken. i need to make the concerted effort to properly cook the lentils, though. mine are coming out a bit al dente. a full pack of lentils for one soup!!! half to add to the soup when you blend half to add to the soup when completed. the chilli leaves large gaps in taste, though. as does celery. i have forgone celery - it is crap and has a tendency to make soup stringy. which i hate. it is a bare bones (as they say) soup and although not on a par with gruel is expected to get me through culinary sparse times. yet again!!! i think navy beans soup might be in the offing, don't you. any tips on that foodstuff?
Ah, someone who understands the importance of taking time with the onions! I never understand recipes that clain the onions will be ready in a few minutes.
They were ready in 3.25 minutes.
@@orosedobheathaabhaile 🤣🤣
I made this for dinner. Excellent! Your right about caramelizing the onions, so delish. I added some fresh cilantro and some cayenne pepper to add a little kick.Thank you😊
I’m amazed to hear that the majority of Americans still consume canned soups and think this is a new recipe. My grandmother made this exact same lentil soup over 45 years ago and it was just one of the many dishes that I learned to cook as a child. Cooking is a skill which should be absolutely taught at home. Thanks grandma,
Looks amazing and very easy to make. Guys, this soup is delicious, healthy and was a hit with all my family. Thank you so much.👍❤️
Lentil soup that doesn't come in a Progresso can: what a concept! I _must_ make this, thank you, Chef.
LOL! Yes, and it likely better, less salt and far cheaper!
I made the lentil soup last night. Love, love, love it. I also did homemade croutons for it. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great recipe
Make this for lunch today... delicious! Thank you for sharing.
I just made this from a recipe from a sweet Italian grandma. I didn't break down the lentils but it was amazing.
After watching about 5 times I finally got the nerve to make it & my mom who always buys her lentil soup already made from Trader Joe's says she will just use this recipe from now on, the whole family was blown away (cause they think I can't cook) - only thing I didn't have was the coriander
hahaha corriander
Next time you’ll get the cilantro 🌿 aka coriander 😊
You really should make with coriander / cilantro. Takes the soup to the next level.

Best cooking instructor on UA-cam.
Gosh i just love your videos my favorite chef on UA-cam . So many others don’t explain like you . Your video production is amazing
I just made this soup and my family loved it!!!! Thank you 😊👍
Bonjour Chef Parisi, thank you for this superb recipe. Having gone through many recipe videos, I easily award you top grades for your commendable skills to communicate. I should know: now retired, I've trained communications students for over 40 years. You would have passed my tough courses with flying colours. Congratulations Chef!
I wanted to thank you fir yiur videos. So grateful to you❤
Loved this recipe!! Mmm mmm good .. first time making lentil soup couldn’t be happier! Thanks so much !
Well done Billy. This is just what ive been looking for. Thank you also for clear way of explaining things. Willl try. Ruth
Just made this! I live in LA area and there’s this ridiculously fancy and expensive grocery store that makes delicious lentil soup. I’ve been spending too much money for their soup when I could easily make it myself. This recipe is totally different than the one I buy from the market but it still came out good! Mine actually came out pretty thick and when I blended 35% of the soup it got even thicker. lol No big deal when I can add more stock or water to it. This tastes great with a crusty bread. 😊
Thanks for the info re thickness.. I haven blenders and did not plan to use one and was worried about the thickness. So you comment here too off the pressure. 🙏🌷🌿
Just made this... didn’t have any coriander and my husband and I are avoiding potatoes and it was AWESOME. Thank you for the recipe. I will be saving it!
Great recipe, left out the potatoes added the spinach, very tasty.
This is an excellent base. I added some worcestershire and sriacha to mine once in the bowl and I think it added some additional depth. So good!
The best soup, with your recipe more delicious 🤩
Just made this and served with rice! Even my son and husband who dislike lentils, they loved it! I had all the ingredients in the cardboard. Delicious!!
Man you’re amazing and kept my attention the whole video. I’m definitely going to give this soup a try when I get the groceries soon. Will def keep you guys updated ❤
@KeshaksSaved. Noticed U were going to try this soup recipe. If I may.. How did it turn out? Thank you.
Love the tips you add at the end, very important
Wow soup looks delicious amazing very yummy 😋 thank you for sharing this recipe
It looks delicious specially in winter time
Yummilicious! 😋
I make it every week and add the fresh cilantro and feta cheese. From Germany, thank you.
I just finished eating and I can only say that I am full and happy! Thank you!
I used the recipe and it turned out scrumptious. Thank you
I am a postpartum doula and often I bring soups for my clients during my shifts. I recently began sharing this lentil soup with my vegan clients and they LOVE it. Packed with protein, flavor, and nutrients. Thanks so much for sharing this yummy recipe!
Looks super yummy. Love the idea of caramelizing the onion. Totally giving it a try.
That looks yum yum 🤤
Thank you for the great recipe. I have regular brown lentils par cooked in the freezer and wanted to find a good soup recipe for them. I use red lentils a lot because they don't need soaking and cook quickly. Learned to poach chicken Mexican style and have wonderful broth at home now. A pleasure to find simple recipes that give great results!
Glad to see lentil soup made with no tomatoes!
Thank you for your amazing Lentil Soup, I look forward to making it on this rainy day.
I just prepared this soup for lunch today. I added bits of vegetarian Francfort sausages
and it is just delicious. Thank you for the great recipe. Following you from the French Alpes.
Super recipe! Thanks for the tip on cooking the onion and when to add each ingredient. 🌷😊🌺
This was so delicious! Made it for someone with a cold.
Perfect soup to eat during Lent or really anytime. TFS.
I've been looking for recipes for Lent too! So glad to have found this.
Looks yummy and easy
Lovely soup 😍
Hands down THE most flavorful lentil soup I’ve ever prepared. I am a doula and I prepare this for most of my clients and THEY LOVE IT! I always eat 1-2 servings then store the rest in 32 oz mason jars for later. God bless this recipe. Follow the recipe!
I also love this soup with pieces of smoked meat, so good
The lemon seeds idea is genius to catch using hands
Made it for my mom over the weekend. She "Loved" it ! 🥰...way to go, Billy...great recipe ! Greetings from Puerto Rico...God bless ! 🙏
This looks amazing. I’ll add it to my recipes - thanks so much for a great vid!
This recipe makes the most delicious soup! I was on a vegan fast so I had to sub avocado oil for the butter, and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. When it was done and already perfect, I found a bag of spinach in the fridge that needed to be used and tossed it in. I can’t imagine it being any better 😋
Very nutritious and delicious!!! I do the same steps as this recipe but what I don't add is the celery because I don't like it but instead I put sofrito and to make it a bit salty I just add the chicken broth like the video. I also add half a habanero pepper to make it spicy because I like spicy foods. So many different ways to do it, love the video!
Thank you I look forward to trying it...
Ahh Chef I am so grateful you always give us vegetarian options
This turned out great!! Instant favorite and now I have a vegan option if one of those wanders into my kitchen! Thanks!
Appreciate you trying it
I am going to make this tomorrow. I love lentil soup so much!
Yum!! I make mine similar…just with a Mexican twist. I also add Roma tomatoes, Serrano peppers and bacon bits. Lentils are comfort food! Thank you for all of your videos!
Just made this. So yummy. Didn’t have white wine so used Sherry. Thank you so much! My husbands mother and many family members were Paris’s from Bisceglie Pr Bari Italy
My husband loves Lentil soup. I will try this easy recipe. Thanks growing up in Germany his grandpa used vinegar not lemon to finish before serving. I’ll give him the choice. He may want sausage as well. ❤
just made this! Excellent recipe! I used vegetable stock because my cousin who requested that I make her some lentil soup yesterday is now a vegan and coincidentally I had run across this recipe just the night before and I thought of making this for her. Caramelizing the onion is a game changer! My sister loves lentil soup so I will make it again using homemade rotisserie chicken stock. I'm a new sub and will be trying other recipes on your channel. Have a blessed day. 😊
Mmmm definitely going to make this soup. Thank you👍 Sending love from Rosie O from Devon England 👏💖🇬🇧
Excellent recipe! Thanks!
Great recipe! I’m gonna try it this weekend.
I have been cooking for 65 years and lentils were always a pain in the but. But I have a case of them, and I actually have all the things you use without having to go to the store. Tastes great, thanks-
This looks so yummy. I am going to make some ❤
Just letting you know I made this today and turned out delicious
Awesome, thank you.
I loved this, made me hungry. First time making soup and it was amazing. Thank you for this easy and tasty recipe. I used Soup and Casserole mix, and had to put it on the stove a bit longer, 1 full hour.
I like to add tomato paste 😋 to it . Excellent recipe!
Good job looks delicious thank you 👍🏻❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank You 😊 Looks delicious 😋
Just made this! so delicious!
Making this tonight! Looks so good. (Adding ham to mine cuz I baked one a few days ago and it's been staring at me in the fridge)
Awesome, watching from India ! But so many options to add..seems very tasty. Will definitely try.
The Tube of You just offered me this video. Your soup looks Delicious!
Just made this recipe, just delicious
I signed up for your channel right away. It is truly fantastic. I just opened a channel dedicated to traditional Italian cuisine. It is very nice to see your recipes and discover cuisines from all over the world. We Italians use few spices and sauces and rely more on technique, our culture is based more on the exaltation of the main ingredient. You are very good 😋😋😋
Looks great I'm try this recipe
Soooo good made this today 👌🏽
Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe 1324pm 16.5.22 dont forget you can add dry chili to add some heat to the fundamentals...
Delicious 😋 😋 😋
Making this recipe now, smells really good ❤️
i love this recipe so easy to make
Thanks. I love your videos I learn so much 🙏🏽
Lovely.
I have made this but I add fresh tomato, spinach/kale, and red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice. Red or green/brown lentils work and both are delicious.
I'll be making that all winter ❤
Very nice. Thanks
really good!! i used red lentils and cucumbers instead of celery and oh my goodness it’s great!! i used my own seasoning and as much as i could find and it was amazinhggg will be making again :))
Nice recipe with easy to follow instructions. You are right: “the secret is to caramelise the onions”.
Yum! Definitely want to make this, one of my favorites 😍 ❤️
thank you so much, this was the best video i've come across for the type of lentil soup I am wanting to make
I am making this tomorrow . EXACTLY like this 😋
Definitely cooking this Awesome 👌
I finally made Lentil soup for the first time. My dad enjoyed it. My mother said, "You forgot to put more onions."
I’m making lentils soup a little bit different, but still so yummy !
I need to make that!
