The Best Detox Crockpot Lentil Soup

It’s SOUP DAY! And I’m seriously excited for you. It’s time for the Best Detox Crockpot Lentil Soup.

As is my goal with most recipes I make for Pinch of Yum, this crockpot lentil soup was made for real life. Because it’s literally for my real life.

We’re starting with a solid base: onions, garlic, carrots, celery, spices, salt, and broth.

Then we’re getting awesome by adding butternut squash, which partially melts into a creamy textured miracle, lentils (always lentils), and yellow split peas because WOW color.

After all this simmers up into the best house smells and then we do the magic thing that takes it over the top: puree a portion of the soup with that olive oil to form a velvety emulsion that then gets added back into the soup. YES PLZ 4EVR.

I ended mine with a spash of sherry and red wine vinegar because I’m currently having a moment with tangy foods.

That’s it. That’s the soup. It requires a bit of front-end chopping to prep the veggies, but I’d guess it took me 30-45 minutes to cut everything up and get it in the crockpot, and in return I was gifted with 8 soup servings of this nutritious + cozy wonderfood. NOT A BAD DEAL.

Cheers to you and your people enjoying many glowing bowls of crockpot lentil soup for all the days to come. 👍👍👍
