Another Soup Recipe, Bacony Lentil and Vegetable Soup

November 22, 2010 By Kristi Rimkus 23 Comments

Yum

It’s true, we’ve seen a ton of soup and stew recipes this fall, so here’s adding to a good thing!

Lentil Soup Cooking on the Stove

If you’re looking for the perfect dieter’s lunch, lentil soup fits the bill. Packed with a whopping 15g of fiber in one serving, you’ll be satisfied until dinner.

Even better, lentils cook up quickly. This big pot of soup was on the table in an hour! I had just enough time to empty and load the dishwasher,  and fold a load of laundry.

If you’re worried about feeling bloated and gassy from all that fiber, just nibble on some Beano first. Beano contains natural enzymes that will keep your tummy from bubbling.

Truly, once your body gets used to the added fiber in your diet, you won’t have that problem.

This soup used up some turkey bacon sitting in the frig. Not my favorite form of bacon, so when I make it again, I’ll use the real thing.

So, here’s to another fall soup recipe, and happy cooking!

Serves 12 - 1 cup servings

What’s good for me in this dish?

Lentils are a good source of protein, iron, phosphorus and copper. They are also a very good source of fiber. Lentils, being a legume are known to reduce your risk of heart disease thanks to their magnesium and folate. They also help regulate blood sugar.

      I don't often use lentils, but I will from now on. I love split pea soup, but this is quicker to make.

    You had me at bacon! I actually adore turkey bacon. Is it weird that I even prefer it to the real deal? And I love that you added cabbage in here. The combo of cabbage and lentils is so yummy and so classic.

    How much of the lentils are we supposed to use? Was literally just about to make this and realized you didn't state the amount ;-) Thanks!

      Hi Megan - so sorry! Thanks for pointing that out! I used a 12 oz bag from Albertsons grocery store. I've corrected the recipe and the nutrition information. Have a wonderful Sunday!
