I love how this recipe is vegan but incorporates a good amount of protein with the lentils and iron with the dark leafy greens. It's healthy and hearty at the same time. Honestly a must have for winter if you're on a plant based diet! You're amazing Laura thank you so much for this recipe I will keep it on hand for when the weather gets cooler here. (right now it's approaching summer haha). Hugs and kisses from Australia xoxoxo
Laura, honestly I don't know how I went so long without finding your videos! I have juvenile diabetes, so I really have to watch the carbs. I also come from an Italian family (what a dilemma!) and really miss pasta. I made your spaghetti squash recipe yesterday, and it was just awesome! Thank you so much!
My heart skips and dances whenever I see you upload a recipe that is dear to my heart...and let me tell you, our cooking style is so similar that i'd say 33% of your recipes are ones that I had in my mental cooking rolodex. Sometimes the ingredients differ a lil, but like you always say, "Use what you have or what you like!" That's the best cooking philosophy/rule of thumb. It's really rare that an ingredient CAN'T be omitted or substituted.
I make something almost identical but do it in my pressure cooker which reduces the cooking time significantly for those nights I don't plan ahead enough to use a slow cooker! I make it with spicy Italian sausage and it's always even better as leftovers. We don't like beans, so eat a lot of lentils instead. YUM YUM. Another good one, Laura!
Lentil soup has become our family's traditional Halloween dinner. I make it earlier in the day so there's plenty of time for pumpkins and costumes and goblins! It goes down easy when the kids are too excited to eat. Plus it's super nutritious before the candy hits. Perfect! Looking forward to trying your recipe. I've never put kale in it. Thanks for sharing!
tfs I never added tomatoes and kayle. I will be makibg this version tomorrow. thank you so much. All of the meals I make of yous are always so delicious and my grandkids love. thank you so much.💖
I'm loving the soup recipes lately! I'm due with my 3rd baby in less than 3 weeks, so I've been trying to make soup each week & freezing the leftovers flat in a gallon size bag. I'm sure I'll make this next week!!!
thank you! I try to do a little extra when I can, like making extra soup so I can freeze some. Or I'm going to bake up some chicken breasts so I can shred and freeze them for soups and casseroles. Little things like that are really helpful
This is PERFECT! I've never used lentils (shameful) & have been wanting to. Plus I don't eat meat so I love that you used a tomato-based stock. So perfect for a Beggar's Night gathering I've got.
Mmm, I made this for dinner this evening. Perfect for after having a tooth extracted, haha. I used halved cherry tomatoes in place of the canned and added some zucchini. It was perfect! Thank you for sharing!
This looks so delish! I am definitely going to make this next week. I may add some kelbasa but it is sooooo easy. Nothing better than soups and stews for winter. With a crusty bread...muwaa!
im going to have to try this asap. looks so yummy! it reminds me of a Portuguese soup my family eats...but that soup has kale, kidney beans, churico, and sometimes potatoes its so yummy. Love the crock pot recipes! very helpful! :)
So great to see a whole food, plant-based recipe here, Laura. Yay! I just made this same thing, last night! Next time, I'll try it in the crockpot, too.
Laura, I love you and all your recipes! Everyone that I've tried has come out perfectly and more delicious than I imagine! Can you PLEASE show us your take on a shrimp gumbo? Please!? It's perfect for Autumn and Winter!
COOKING FOR TWO: Dear Laura, this ole guy of 80 enjoys your easy to follow receipe. Thank for sharing. Nice clearly spoken precise presentation and I love your kitchen! QUESTION: when making BEAN/lentil soups/stews for Two people, how much beans should be added? Chef-wanna-bee-Bruschetta 3-8-2017 baja ca.
hi , love the video , 2 questions does it have to be brown lentils ?? if i was to add chicken or bacon to this soup would you cook before putting in the pot or would you just add from the start , thanks waiting for reply so can give it a go
Yum. I have been looking for a great soup recipe to make for my family during the cold months. I have a question. How can I modify it if u don't have a slow cooker. How long do I have to boil the water with the lentils. Also, can I sautéed the veggies first?
You look so beautiful in this! Well, you always look stunning, but I love the simple but classic makeup you have on! Can you do a "GRWM for filming" video on Vitale Style? Thanks, beautiful! :)
I've asked on many different occasions Laura about you doing a nice video on your Bloopers.... It would be such a hit.... A behind the scenes is always FUN right!? Lovely Recipe again BTW!! 😀😀
+Laura in the Kitchen omg yes!! My hubby and I just love watching you and Joe on your Vlog Channel and he's a great guy... We know he'll come up with something.... You're always so gracious Laura even in the Bloopers... You have no idea how much you've made our day... With the Hope of your Bloopers... 😊😊 xo You & Joe are the reasons why my hubby and I started our Vlog Channel one our 1 year wedding anniversary and now our Cooking channel also... I look forward to one day meeting you!! ☺️☺️ Hugs Laura!!
+LauraInTheKitchen ... I have a few large smoked sausage links I would like to use in this recipe. Given the amount of salt in sausage, when should I add it to the pot? Thanks!
Laura, I'll be making my version of this today but I don't have a crockpot. I'll just make it in a regular pot. How long do dry lentils need to cook to get soft? Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎉
My girl Laura always delivers! Every time I’m looking for a recipe she’s got the best and easiest one

Out of all the lentil recipes I've watched so far, (about 7) this one looks the best and actually made my mouth water. Thanks for sharing!
More crockpot recipes! Looks like a great fall/winter dinner!

Nick Rossi Have you read or watched any of Doctor Neal Barnard & diabetes ???

I agree
Definitely making this!
Will you ever visit the UK? It's my dream to meet you! Please make vanilla shortbread I have my own recipe but I thought I'd like to know yours
I've asked on many different occasions Laura about you doing a nice video on your Bloopers.... It would be such a hit.... A behind the scenes is always FUN right!? Lovely Recipe again BTW!! 😀😀
Haha that would be hilarious!! We don't have many bloopers, but I'll check with Joe and see if we have enough for a video!
+Laura in the Kitchen omg yes!! My hubby and I just love watching you and Joe on your Vlog Channel and he's a great guy... We know he'll come up with something.... You're always so gracious Laura even in the Bloopers... You have no idea how much you've made our day...

I look forward to one day meeting you!! ☺️☺️ Hugs Laura!!
I would say to substitute the kale if you're not a big fan of it with green Swiss chard. I make very similar soup with Swiss chard though.
Congrats on 2 mill!
Thank you!!!
+LauraInTheKitchen ... I have a few large smoked sausage links I would like to use in this recipe. Given the amount of salt in sausage, when should I add it to the pot? Thanks!
Yay, what a lovely vegan recipe!
yummy! Did you soak the lentils overnight before using them?
Laura, I'll be making my version of this today but I don't have a crockpot. I'll just make it in a regular pot. How long do dry lentils need to cook to get soft?
Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄🎉
perfect timing Laura. I love lentil soup
Amazing. Laura, what brand of slow cooker should I buy?
Love lentil soup. will have to try this one. Curious as to what brand of cookware is hanging in the background?
What do you think about throwing shrimp in
I am going to make this 100%...I love hearty soup's in Autumn! plus Kale is a superfood I think?
when does the recipe appear on the website? Would like to make this today and I cannot find the printed recipe
If you added cured sausage... would you want to wait to add it near the end (with kale) since it tends to be quite salty?
Can't wait to make this.
Hope you love it!
Yay for a vegan recipe! Definitely going to try this!
Thank you for your beautiful delicious recipe yum 👍🌹
Hi Laura, I love lentil soup :) thank you so much for the video and Thumbs Up always :-)
Love all your amazing dishes, just a suggestion....you should also make chicken caesar wrap :) :)
Congratulations 2M Subscribers
Thanks Laura for the great, healthy and easy recipe, love it
yummm, will have to try this!
Yum!! More vegan recipes please 😊
Laura what other option of beans can I use?
Would you sauté the sausage first before putting it in the soup or let it cook with everything else?
