It's officially fall, and to commence what I call "soup & candle weather", I thought I would share my new favorite soup recipe with you, Slow Cooker Beef & Lentil Soup.  It is everything I want in a bowl of soup.  If you like hearty, super comforting soups, you're going to love this one.

Slow Cooker Beef & Lentil Soup is a delicious, thick lentil soup with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and chunks of beef roast, but could easily be made vegetarian.  It's super healthy and loaded with fiber, protein from the lentils and beef, and all the goodness from the fresh veggies.  If you like my Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup, you're going to love this.

Like everyone else come fall and winter, I use my slow cooker a lot.  It makes the hearty, warm, comfort food that you crave when it's cold out, but without a lot of work.

To make Slow Cooker Beef & Lentil Soup, all you have to do is sear the meat in a hot pan and then throw everything in the slow cooker.  It's hands-free from there.  Whether I've been freezing my tush off from sitting on the cold bleachers at my boys' baseball games, or just had a really long day, I'm always excited to know we have something warm and ready to eat as soon as we get home.  Another perk of this soup is when your husband walks in the front door and says, "I'm so glad it's our house that smells so good!"

NOTES:

  • Lentils absorb liquid over time, so if you eat it the next day or freeze it and eat it later, you may need to add a little water to loosen it up.
  • This recipe could easily be made vegetarian by omitting the beef and replacing the beef broth with vegetable broth and replacing the Better than Bouillon Beef Base for Better Than Bouillon Vegetarian No Beef Base or Better than Bouillon's Vegetable Base Bouillon.
  • I used a rump roast in this recipe because I wanted chunks of meat that would hold its shape in the soup after it cooked for a long time, compared to a chuck roast, which might fall apart.
