Notes

  • Nutrition info is estimated and may vary based on ingredients and portions. For the most accurate details, consider using a nutrition tool or checking our full Nutrition Information Disclaimer.
  • This lentil vegetable soup thickens after refrigeration, but you can reheat it without adding extra liquid. 
  • You can use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, or even chicken or vegetable bouillon cubes.
  • Chopping vegetables into small pieces helps them cook faster, saving you time in the kitchen.
  • To make things easier next time, dice and freeze extra vegetables for quick homemade soup later.
