Ingredients 🥬
3.5 oz bacon (6 slices)
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup dried green lentils preferably soaked overnight
1 cup dried red lentils preferably soaked overnight
1 cup cannellini beans (white kidney beans) preferably soaked overnight
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp-Tbsp chili powder
6 cups flavorful chicken broth

1. Add lentils and beans to a large bowl and fill with abundant cool water. Soak for at the very least 2 hours, better overnight (10-12 hours).
2. Peel and finely chop onion and garlic. Peel carrots and dice. Wash celery and dice.
3. Add chopped onion and garlic and diced celery and carrots to the crockpot.
4. Drain and rinse soaked lentils and beans and then add to the crockpot.
5. Add thyme, chili powder, sea salt, pepper, and broth to the crockpot, give it all a quick stir, then place the lid on top.
6. Set crockpot to 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low. (For unsoaked legumes, use 5 hours on high and 10 hours on low).
7. 30-45 minutes before cooking time is over, crisp up bacon in either a pan over medium heat or the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes on a baking sheet.
8. Before serving, give it a taste to see if it needs more seasoning with sea salt and pepper.
9. To serve, add to a bowl, sprinkle crispy bacon, and finely chopped parsley on top and enjoy!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. It's a favourite now over here. My husband and I have always loved lentil soup (and I love my Crockpot). This is my go to recipe for that now.
So good, healthy, AND not fattening too.
It's so easy, tasty, and delicious! Lentil soup is one of my favorite!
I'm going to try your recipe today. It's good to keep a tradition going while changing things up a bit. I always add beer to mine. Thank you!
thank you very much. ill try it this week... i feel like this is definately something which will be more rewarding and taste way better in crocpot instant of instant pot ( i have both ).
This is a great video. Its enjoyable, it's informative, its instructional, it's enlightening. It's educational.. Love this recipe. Thank you so much for your video!
It looks delicious 😋 I love the bacon 🥓 idea
Yum,sounds good
Have you ever added ground sausage to your recipe? Yum!!
I've never tried but sounds delicious!
I'm going to try this thanks! Btw if you have a George Foreman grill you can plug that thing into an extension cord and fry your bacon on that totally outside. Great video!
Come on Fall!! Gearing up for some fall weather recipes, yes it's still summer but this looks so good! Going to make it today :) Hope your holiday is going well, miss your videos!
I’m excited for fall recipes, too. Will be cooking and filming again next week. Stay tuned :)
Gonna be buying the ingredients today for next weeks meal prep! Can't wait to taste it. Gonna try it with some cooked cubed ham added in instead of bacon :D
Welp! I made it! It’s delicious. It’s easy. I used it for my meal prep for the last TWO weeks lol. And I’m not tired of it yet
Looks delicious , can't wait to try this soup ...thank you for great video 🇨🇦
Thank you, effort really appreciated. Grazie Mille
I think it's strange how good lentils are. I kind of don't like beans, but lentils are great.
Lentils are the best!
Looks good, I'm going to prepare everything and take it camping and have it ready after off-roading and hiking!🍽️🔪👍
that sounds like a wonderful idea!
@Trona Boron What a great idea!
I think im going to do this this week
Do I soak the beans in or out of the refrigerator?
On the counter.
You didn't say anything about how long to cook it looks Delicious yummy yum
The full recipe with all instructions is in the description :)
This is a Delicious looking soup recipe
I think she said 7 hours on low 4 hours on high
Lovely new subscriber.
Looks pretty good .
When would I add diced potatoes? If possible
At the beginning with everything else. Make sure they are waxy potatoes not starchy or else they will disintegrate.
What exactly did u just add after the veggies, ?
the link in the description takes you to the full written and printable recipe
what do we do if we are using canned kidney beans instead of dried kidney beans?
Add then half-way through the cooking process.
oops I added the parsley since the beginning , lets see
It'll still be delicious :)
Looks tasty, will give it a try.
Can anyone place her accent?
I'm German (born and raised) but my mother is Peruvian and spoke nothing but Spanish with me. I'm married to a Mexican with whom I only speak Spanish, and lived in Mexico for 4 years. Learned English at school, 6 months living in Australia, 6 months living in California, 2 years living in London, and 8 years living in Canada so my English accent is influenced by Germany, Peru, Mexico, Australia, UK, Canada. Lol. That's why nobody can place it, haha
@@Greenhealthycooking it all makes sense now :)
Thanks
I’ve just purchased these items to make this! (It’s 9pm here in Australia) I’m going to soak my beans overnight, and then get it going.
I do have a question though, could you add chicken thighs or breast to this?
Yes! Chicken thighs (preferably bone-in) will hold really well in the crockpot for the extended cooking time. Breasts are trickier. They dry out with long slow cooking.
Go Sydney Swans!
@@Greenhealthycooking
Glad I like legs and thighs and not dry breasts !! 😁
Greetings to ya down under in Australia ! Never use white meat in lentil soup ! A dry tasteless Dizaster !! 🙄
I want to make this but do not have canneli beans 😢
you could also use great northern beans, navy beans, or butterbeans.
how much water do you add relatively to cups/g of brown lentils?
The link in the description takes you to the full written recipe
Going to make this but meat free
Yes! Absolutely delicious without the bacon, too :)
What size is that crock pot?
7 quart I think. I bought it years ago for $34 dollars at Costco. Whatever one that is.
Maybe someone has a suggestion. I made this. Very flavorful, good texture, etc. But every time I take a bite my mouth is full of hulls. Caked on the roof of my mouth. Is it that I could not find quality lentils? I do have an issue with bean hulls, I strip my chickpeas, but this is crazy bad. So sad, this was my meals for a week, Hull Hell. :)
Oh, I've never heard about that before. Chickpeas yes but other legumes no. Where do you usually buy your lentils?
@@Greenhealthycooking At the finest Walmart in town. Small town living is mostly good but, especially in a pandemic, the choices are limited. One bag was from Mexico and the other, who knows. I will not try dried legumes again.
Don't you get tired of flailing your arms and hands so much in your video?! 🤣 Recipe sounds great ! I will make Wednesday. 🤗
Could I swap the beans for chickpeas?
You can in theory but the texture will be completely different. Cannellini beans are super super soft and make the soup pretty creamy. Chickpeas won't create the same effect.
Are they aka “northern beans”?
@@sandeesandee2562 they are very similar but not the same. Cannellini beans are white kidney beans or Italian kidney beans. Great Northern beans have a grainier texture.
Cook with Mel & tee
?
Lol
So delicious
