Looking for a vegan lentil soup, vegane Linsensuppe, that's easy to make? Here's one that you'll make within 30 minutes. Check the A bit of this & a bit of that section for ways of changing this to match your lifestyle.

I didn't even know about it being vegan when I used to make this years ago. I just made it 'cause I loved it!

Being extremely high in protein, lentils are great additions to your everyday meals. The red ones are great to cook with because they cook up so quickly.

The soup below is just one of the delicious ways to serve up this legume.

A bit of this and a bit of that ...

• Add 1 clove of garlic, crushed, along with the vegetables.
• If you'd like this a bit thicker, stir in some instant mashed potato flakes until it's the consistency that you like.
• Spoon in a bit of cream or swirl it in when serving.
• Garnish with chives or parsley.

Blending the vegetables along with the cooked lentils thicken this well seasoned vegetable stock. Among vegan soup recipes, this one is really easy.

The quantities can be adjusted as needed, with more or less of each vegetable added.

Did you know that lentils come in various colors, from yellow, red, brown, green, and black? I find that the red ones cook up so quickly and taste very mild.

Most think this is a yellow pea soup when they first try it.
