What Type of Lentils Can Be Used in Vegan Lentil Soup?

In this lentil soup recipe, we use a mix of dry lentils, including brown, green and black. You can use any combination of these varieties in your soup. We recommend sticking to whole lentils instead of split lentils. Although whole lentils take longer to cook, they retain their shape better and add texture to the soup, whereas split lentils break down and become mushy.

How to Store Vegan Lentil Soup

Lentil soup can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 5 days. To reheat, you can microwave the soup on High until warm.

Can You Freeze Vegan Lentil Soup?

Yes, lentilsoup is easy to freeze. After the soup has cooled, portion and store it in freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 2 months. Be sure to label the containers so you can keep track of the freshness.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
