Easy Vegan Soup (Zero Chopping!)
This easy "dump-and-done" soup is made in one pot with no chopping required. It's super flexible and brimming with wholesome, nourishing ingredients without any of the hassle!
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 15 oz. can black beans
- 2/3 cup brown lentils
- 1 cup peas (I use frozen veggies)
- 1 cup green beans, cut
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 1 Tbsp. onion powder (or granules)
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except apple cider vinegar in a large pot over medium-high heat on the stove. (Be sure to rinse and drain the black beans and lentils before adding.)
- Bring to a light simmer. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the lentils are cooked. (If you're using green lentils, they may need an extra 5-10 minutes of cook time.)
- Stir in the apple cider vinegar at the end of cooking time. Salt and pepper to taste if needed. (When serving, scoop your ladle down towards the bottom of the pot as the lentils & beans tend to sink!)
Notes
Yield: Recipe makes about 9-10 cups soup.
Variations: Swap in other frozen veggies like broccoli or cauliflower (I use about 3 cups total). Or try different herbs & spices, other bean varieties, cooked grains, or stir in fresh baby spinach at the end of cooking time.
