Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dried lentils (about 1 cup + 2 tablespoons), green or brown
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce + 1 tablespoon sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 5 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the olive oil and white wine vinegar to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 5-6 hours, until the lentils are tender.
- Discard the bay leaf and carefully ladle out about 4 cups of the soup into a large blender. Add the olive oil, cover and pulse a few times until semi-smooth and creamy looking.
- Pour the blended soup into the crockpot and add the white wine vinegar. Stir to combine, taste and season with more salt to taste.
- Serve with desired toppings like chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded parmesan and crusty bread.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Makes a total of 7 cups.
- If the soup is too thick at the end, feel free to mix in some more broth at the end until it's just right.
- This soup isn't spicy at all. The amount of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce just add a nice warmth but not much spice. If you'd like it with a little more spice, I recommend doubling the amount of chipotle peppers.
