Main

Soup

10 ingredients or less

One-bowl / one-pot

Freezer-friendly

This protein-packed soup requires little supervision, takes only a few minutes to prep, and simmers away on the stove by itself until it's ready to be enjoyed! We aways like to make a huge pot, and store batches in the freezer to enjoy later on.

The ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ balsamic ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ makes this recipe fantastic.


Molly Faye - Oct. 1, 2024, 12:52 a.m.

Would highly recommend mincing the onion in a food processor and adding minced garlic over dry! For me it hides the onions from my picky kids lol! But they loved it!

Thanks for the tip, Molly!

Okay honestly I wasnโ€™t expecting that much from this as the recipe sounds so super simple. But Oh my goodness was this delicious ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹ I used 4 small potatoes instead of 1 medium one for more substance and me and my husband both absolutely loved this.

I love how easy this recipe is! If I want to make it a little heartier, I use an extra onion or potato and vegetable stock instead of water, but its perfect as is. Always nice to have a pantry staple recipe. Thanks for sharing!


Lori - April 21, 2024, 8:45 p.m.

This soup rocked! So good, fast and easy. Had all the ingredients on hand. My first time trying a recipe on your site. It won't be my last.

Great recipe! Color can be adjusted with cocoa to give it the rich brown color like in the picture :)


Reau - April 10, 2024, 7:29 p.m.

I always keep red lentils and potatoes in the pantry incase I want to make this at anytime. Itโ€™s so flavourful, comforting, and easy to make. I love to add a carrot or broccoli in for more texture and nutrition if I have it

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 10, 2024, 9:03 p.m.

Yayy so glad you're enjoying the soup, Reau! Carrot and broccoli are delicious additions ๐Ÿคฉ


Cassandra - April 8, 2024, 4:39 a.m.

I absolutely love this soup! It is delicious, jam-packed with flavour and it is the ultimate comfort soup on a winterโ€™s day. I especially love adding half a cup of canned tomatoes and an extra potato.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 8, 2024, 4:41 a.m.

Soup is so comforting on cold days ๐Ÿฅฐ it means a lot you're enjoying this one, Cassandra!


Terhi Stratton - March 30, 2024, 2:03 a.m.

Just made this soup for the first time tonight. So easy and quick! I love the flavors. Will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe!


Eva de Schipper - March 11, 2024, 7:08 p.m.

Unfortunately, this soup was quite flavourless, even adding much more of the spices, vinegar and salt. I will say that it was a nice and simple dish to make!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 11, 2024, 8:29 p.m.

Hey Eva, oh no! We're disappointed to hear this and would love to help if possible. We strive for 5-star recipes ๐ŸŒŸ Did you by any chance change any of the recipe ingredients or portion sizes? The yogurt on top also really helps to enhance the flavours and texture of the soup.


Claudia McNulty - March 8, 2024, 4:21 p.m.

a very simple recipe, this would make a great weeknight meal. not the most complex flavour palette but sometimes thatโ€™s exactly what you need. Love it!


Chante Crawford - March 4, 2024, 5:03 p.m.

This was so good!! I sub mine with half lentils/half soy mince and added some tomato paste. Amazing! Will definitely make it again ๐Ÿ’•

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 5, 2024, 4:58 a.m.

A lovely idea to use half soy mince and half lentils! Thanks, Chante ๐Ÿ˜Š


julia - March 2, 2024, 12:53 p.m.

Can i substitute the balsamic vinegar for lemon or lime instead? I cant have vinegar. Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 2, 2024, 10:12 p.m.

Hey Julia, uou could omit the balsamic vinegar, or experiment with substitutions such as a soy sauce, lemon, or lime juice. We'd recommend giving the soup a taste test in this case and adding more spices to taste if desired ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


Madura - Feb. 27, 2024, 4:26 a.m.

Unfortunately this recipe is bland.

Really love this soup, have made it several times now. I used smoked paprika as itโ€™s all I had, and topped it with canned coconut cream. Delicious!

I eat this at least once a week every single week! ๏ฟผMy fave recipe!


Chrysiida - Feb. 10, 2024, 12:36 a.m.

Lentils have to be my favorite type of legume and I am so happy for this recipe because I got to try red lentils for the first time and I found a new way to enjoy them! Coincidentally had a friend over around lunchtime when I cooked this and he ate two plates of this dish because of how delicious it was!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 10, 2024, 6:21 p.m.

Aw how exciting to share your first time using red lentils together, Chrysiida! Thanks for the lovely review :)


Mariela - Feb. 9, 2024, 10:41 p.m.

Delicious!!!! Will highly recommend!


Jenny - Feb. 8, 2024, 2:04 p.m.

I replaced red lentils with a can of green ones ( as thatโ€™s what I had ) and added a bit of smoked paprika as well and itโ€™s one my new favourite dishes โค๏ธ simple, cheap quick and so so so yummy

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 8, 2024, 5:26 p.m.

Mmm sounds delicious, Jenny - we're so happy that the potato and lentil soup was enjoyed ๐Ÿคฉ


Louise - Feb. 5, 2024, 11:45 p.m.

I make this soup all the time! Great for when you only have pantry items available. With good bread + butter and a salad on the side, it's worthy of weeknight dinner guests and suits most dietary requirements.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 6, 2024, 8:15 a.m.

So happy that the Potato & Red Lentil Soup is being enjoyed, Louise!

Super easy hearty recipe and perfect for the winter


Bwalya Mutale - Feb. 2, 2024, 7:31 p.m.

Finding onion powder and garlic powder isnโ€™t always easy - would you say it is a straight swap for the granule version of both? I have all the ingredients for this so will make it this week!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 2, 2024, 8:42 p.m.

Hey Bwalya, we'd recommend starting with a straight swap, but then adding more to taste as needed. Powdered onion and garlic tend to be more concentrated in flavour compared to granulated versions ๐Ÿค—

Bwalya Mutale - Feb. 3, 2024, 6:48 p.m.

Thank you for that!


Denisa Muna - Jan. 27, 2024, 3:28 p.m.

Very good soup for winter days!


Bhavya Sai - Jan. 24, 2024, 4 a.m.

Very bland

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 24, 2024, 10:17 p.m.

Hi Bhavya, we're sad to hear this recipe was bland! Is there any chance you soaked the lentils or increased the serving size? If the lentils were soaked less water is needed and if you increase the serving size the soup will need to simmer longer for the flavours to develop and the consistency to thicken. We hope this helps for now and that you enjoy our other recipes more ๐Ÿ˜Š

One of my favourite recipes) Quick, easy and yummy)


Stella - Jan. 20, 2024, 8:15 p.m.

To be honest, I used this recipe as inspiration to make my own. I also added spinach, curry powder and coconut cream. Topped with crushed walnuts, a bit more cream, fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon. It turned out absolutely amazing!!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 21, 2024, 1:02 a.m.

Woohoo! Weโ€™re so happy that the soup is being enjoyed and inspiring lots of tasty creations, Stella :D

Very tasty. Non-vegetarian husband loves it too. Would definitely make this again.


Janelle - Jan. 19, 2024, 2:51 a.m.

So quick and easy! I just so happened to have everything for this so I made it with some garlic naan (also from PUL). I am sick right now and this warm bowl of comfort is just what I need. And being sick and still being able to cook a nutritious meal for my self in 20 min is amazing!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 19, 2024, 5:55 a.m.

Interesting twist on classic lentils. I like the variation.


Kisa - Jan. 16, 2024, 4:10 p.m.

So good! We used green lentils because we had lots of those and some gold potatoes that we didn't bother peeling. Very quick, budget friendly, and nutritious. Kids ask to make this soup all the time now. We serve ours with garlic yogurt and lemon

Jessica Crouter - Jan. 11, 2024, 5:12 a.m.

This soup is incredible. I don't know what the secret is, because I made it and didn't add any magic ingredients, and still it turned out so so so delicious. Super easy to make as well.
I have it with some oatly crรจme fraiche and crispy onions on top -- 10/10 would recommend.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 10, 2024, 7:12 a.m.

Caterina Michalitsi - Jan. 6, 2024, 8:23 p.m.

Amazing!!!
I removed the oil and added 1/2 tbp cumin powder (lentils love cumin)and 1 tbs turmeric (otherwise, what's the point of the blackpepper?).
My kids couldn't get enough of it!!!! KIDS + LENTILS, not the easiest! Easy, fast, delicious.

alex - Jan. 3, 2024, 9:01 p.m.

Sadly itโ€™s the first recipe I didnโ€™t like. Stays watery and the taste isnโ€™t as great as usual

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 4, 2024, 1:40 a.m.

Hi Alex, sorry to hear this recipe didn't do it for you! Is there any chance you soaked the lentils or increased the serving size? If the lentils were soaked less water is needed and if you increase the serving size the soup will need to simmer longer for the flavours to develop and the consistency to thicken. We hope this helps for now and that you enjoy our other recipes more!

Virginie - Jan. 13, 2024, 6:18 p.m.

I had the same problem as Alex. After trying the recipe, I checked the (metric( weight of the lentils: 1 cup is closer to 230g, this might explain it. I will try again with more lentils and/or less water.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 13, 2024, 6:53 p.m.

Hey there, Virginie, thanks for the insight! Our weight aligns with the USDA nutrition database but we'll double check in the studio. We have also reviewed this recipe and adjusted the water to reflect the feedback we have had. Thank you!

Maria - Dec. 12, 2023, 2:50 p.m.

I was relying on leftovers for lunch but my family just gobbled it up ๐Ÿคญ I added carrots and cherry tomatoes and used cilantro instead of parsley. Very comfy. Only, both my partner and I woke up in the middle of the night with a tummy ache from lentil overload ๐Ÿ˜… any tips and tricks on how to make them easier to digest in this particular recipe? (Family tradition calls for caraway seeds but I can't see that working well with this flavour profile ... ๐Ÿซฃ)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 14, 2023, 8:08 a.m.

Hey there, Maria, thanks for sharing your experience with the soup. For easier digestion, you can try soaking the lentils before cooking, and gradually introduce them to your diet. You can also include digestive-friendly herbs like cumin or fennel. Adjusting portion sizes might help too. If you're having ongoing discomfort we have an article on the blog with tips to beat discomfort in case it helps as well ๐Ÿค—

Itโ€™s not to instance
Added some chopped tomatoes


Chelsea - Dec. 7, 2023, 12:04 a.m.

I really want to love this recipe, but I think I did something wrong. Definitely some type of user error.
I find that paprika really doesnโ€™t taste like anything, but then I think maybe Iโ€™m buying the wrong paprika. What kind do you use? Should I try getting a Hungarian paprika to try instead? Or go with a smoked paprika?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 8, 2023, 7:50 p.m.

Hey there, Chelsea, aw shoot - thanks for sharing your experience with us! Is your paprika fresh? Spices tend to lose their flavour and colour over time so perhaps this may be why your doesn't taste like much. A fresh paprika will be a rich red colour ๐Ÿ˜Š

Paprika can also vary in flavour intensity based on the type. If you find it lacking, you could try Hungarian paprika for a richer taste or experiment with smoked paprika for a unique, smoky flavour profile.

The soup itself is lovely, but for me the toppings are also what help elevate it - the yogurt and caramelized onion for example. I hope this helps for now ๐Ÿค—

The Potato & Red Lentil Soup recipe is a simple, quick and easy dish that is savory and highly satisfying! The must-have ingredients were pantry staples in my kitchen - and was able to happily make a filling main dish even when I had a low inventory of groceries! Such a life-savor!

So thrilled that the Potato & Red Lentil Soup is being enjoyed, Jenelle, thank you! โœจ


Oli - Nov. 15, 2023, 6:58 p.m.

Nice and quick recipe! We let it simmer a little bit longer and served it more like a dal. Very good though!


Mรฉline - Nov. 12, 2023, 8:09 p.m.

Delicious !


Emily - Nov. 9, 2023, 5:18 p.m.

Very easy to make + tastes good + feels good in my body!
I added some extra potatoes and will add some extra herbs next time for even more flavour. :)


Lucia - Nov. 8, 2023, 10:25 a.m.

Easy to make and super delicious! I prefer it without the yoghurt, so I will try the onions as a topping next time.


Nikos - Nov. 7, 2023, 7:20 p.m.

Easy, tasty and quick recipe! I liked the twist with the yogurt! I put more potatoes in it though.


Justine - Nov. 6, 2023, 11:33 p.m.

This came together so quickly and itโ€™s so comforting and tasty on a cool night. I loved it with the coconut yogurt and had crusty baguette on the side. Excellent!


Anita - Nov. 5, 2023, 11:12 a.m.

Delicious and perfect for a cold night!


Maria - Nov. 1, 2023, 12:13 p.m.

Looks yummy! Should I soak the lentils?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 1, 2023, 7:10 p.m.

Hi Maria, we didn't soak the lentils for this recipe but you certainly could! If you do soak ahead of time, just a heads-up you won't need to add as much water to the soup once your cooking ๐Ÿค“


Olga - Oct. 26, 2023, 3:14 p.m.

So tasty! Creamy, easy to make and clean up after:)


Karen Mesko - Oct. 16, 2023, 2:19 p.m.

Keeper! Super quick and easy! Perfect for the cold season :)


Amy - Oct. 15, 2023, 1:30 a.m.

So warm, hearty, comforting and easy to make! I make it with a combination of sweet and smoked paprika to give it a nice smoky flavor and add some chopped kale at the end. Delicious!


Diane Hanes (wildlyplantfit.com) - Oct. 9, 2023, 11:54 p.m.

I made this for the 2nd time today! So easy and deliciousโ€ฆ and easy to modify. The first time I made it, I added spinach, lemon and served with homemade soy yogurt. Yum!
This time, I added cooked chickpeas and chopped chives from my garden. Really good, but I do like it better with the yogurt. I will definitely make this a lot this Fall/Winter.
Oh, I made it both times in my Instant Pot. Sautรฉed the onions, then added everything else. Set on โ€œpressure cookโ€ for 5 minutes. Went on a long walk, then when I got back, lunch was ready!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 10, 2023, 2:38 a.m.

Ooo thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, Diane! The instant pot is a lovely idea ๐Ÿฅฐ


Nadine - Oct. 7, 2023, 6:41 p.m.

Most often I use especially savory recipes as an inspiration. Same here as well. I've added turmeric and fresh garlic and ginger instead of powder. I loved the easiness of the recipe. Perfect also to warm yourself up.

Loved this! I sauted some bell peppers with the onion and, I did swap vegetable bouillon and the water for just 4 cups of vegetable broth... and I used smoked paprika... easy, healthy and tasty!


Merle - Aug. 23, 2023, 10:02 a.m.

Delicious and easy!


Nova - Aug. 22, 2023, 5:09 p.m.

This soup was so comforting and easy to make! ๐Ÿฅน Added some carrot and spinach too. I might have used the wrong potato/lentils, because the soup never got a creamy consistency, only the โ€œstockโ€ with pieces of potato, carrot & lentils. I didnโ€™t love the hint of sourness that the balsamic vinegar added so I balanced out with some honey. I also added a tiiny bit of cumin and cinnamon, which made it feel sooo autumn-y and cozy. Recommend!!! ๐Ÿ˜


Ellen Margrethe Larsen - Aug. 17, 2023, 3:19 p.m.

I love this soup๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿฅฐ


Claire - Aug. 11, 2023, 5:49 p.m.

SO GOOD!!! My mom said she thought it was maybe the best savory food sheโ€™d ever smelled when she walked out this morning. I subbed and put in half smoked paprika for the paprika since I was all I had and didnโ€™t have yogurt on hand, but it is still fabulous. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe!

G - Aug. 7, 2023, 11:18 a.m.

This is maybe the easiest soup Iโ€™ve ever made. Itโ€™s simple, but tasty. I highly, highly recommend including the yogurt as I think the tang and creaminess was really elevated it.


Archa N.G - Aug. 7, 2023, 7:20 a.m.

Hi. I have a question about the info. Does the info include the nourishment details of the toppings like bread? It goes for other recipes also.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 7, 2023, 3:52 p.m.

Hey Archa, great question! The nutrition info reflects anything in the ingredient list where an amount was provided. So in this case we give an amount for the bread (3 slices) so the nutrition information includes the bread. The nutrition information is *not* given for optional toppings where the amount is not given (for example, the optional toppings of parsley, chili flakes, and caramelized onions). I hope this helps :)


Jody - Aug. 6, 2023, 5 a.m.

I made this today with the addition of 2 cloves fresh garlic, 1/2 tsp each of cumin, turmeric and pepper flakes. I omitted the balsamic vinegar bcz i wasn't sure how that would affect the overall flavour. I used ghee instead of vegetable oil bcz its just better for you! We loved it! Had it with quinoa on the side.


Susi Moe - Aug. 4, 2023, 4:08 p.m.

We used to eat red lentil soup pureed with a grated potato and a grated carrot (a recipe from my Turkish father in law).
But this recipe feels even more wholesome and filling and is even easier and quicker to make. We will definitely cook this more often now :)


Kimee LeSage - Aug. 3, 2023, 10:45 p.m.

It tasted good! I swapped out the red for brown lentils and enjoyed the flavor!


Leslie - Aug. 2, 2023, 8:12 p.m.

This soup is delicious! Mine came out looking very washed out, not the color in the photo, but it tastes so good. I diced the potatoes a bit large so they took too long to cook, and the lentils ended up overcooked but the texture is still enjoyable. So easy to make. It will be added to my rotation!


Britt - July 19, 2023, 6:55 p.m.

Delicious soup! It reminded me of a comforting soup my mom used to make in my childhood. Excited to have this in the rotation.


Ashley Mazawi - July 19, 2023, 5:20 a.m.

I added red lentils along with green and brown lentils too. Tasted great!

This is a winner! I just made it for lunch and it is delicious. I'm not generally a soup person and vegetarian recipes don't usually appeal to me, but this soup has blown my mind. If I came home from a long, hard day out in the cold, this soup would satisfy me. I did add a little bit of smoked paprika as well, because smoked paprika. I put a little dollop of light sour cream on top and I haven't even finished this bowl and am already considering seconds. Well worth making.

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 3, 2023, 4:59 a.m.

Jenn - May 21, 2023, 2:26 p.m.

I made this soup feeling confident in the photos of the soup but it really fell short. Maybe I doubled it wrong but I used the site to make 6 servings but it was watery but worse was just flavorless like little flavor profile. I had to doctor it up with other spices to want to eat it.

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 21, 2023, 9 p.m.

Hey Jenn, awe we're so sorry to hear! It sounds like the soup needed to simmer longer for the flavours to develop and the consistency to thicken. If you scale up recipes in the future, it may be helpful to extend the cooking time if needed. We'll note this feedback down in any case and hope you're able to enjoy other recipes on the PUL website ๐Ÿค—

lentils and creamy potatoes went really good, such a simple and great combination of spices, easy and really good for week night meal :) thanks!


Mishka Berry - March 9, 2023, 9:02 a.m.

Amazing flavour of the garlic, chillis and onions. Brings a fresh memory of a mix of italian, arabian and lebanese. Though, i would say that 4 cups of water is way too less as it basically makes the whole soup like a thick gravy so for the ones planning to make this for your family, use 6-7 cups of the water you used to rinse your lentils and then cook it as it also takes time to boil. Also, add some smoked chillis (freshly made) to add a better flavour. I tried it and its something to cherish and you would literally dream to make it again.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 9, 2023, 8:01 p.m.

Nicole - Jan. 25, 2023, 2:29 a.m.

Do you think that the addition of canned tomatoes would be good? Or would that effect the dish in a bad way, taste wise?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 26, 2023, 6:46 a.m.

Hey Nicole, we haven't tested it out but it could be fun to experiment with! If you use canned crushed tomatoes rather than diced, you may just want to reduce the amount of water a bit to start and add more to the desired consistency as the dish cooks. We'd also recommend adjusting the spices to taste, such as more paprika if you think it needs it ๐Ÿ™‚


Kellan - Jan. 20, 2023, 3:01 a.m.

I am genuinely surprised with how flavorful this simple soup was! I made it with sweet potatoes, and it was superb. The caramelized onions are a MUST-- it adds so much and requires little prep. I served it hot with lightly-toasted sourdough bread. It's really nice to have a recipe that can please so many palettes. As someone who's learning how to cook/enjoy lentils, this was a great introduction.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 21, 2022, 5:39 p.m.

Mmm that sounds delicious! So glad the soup was enjoyed, Jen ๐Ÿ˜Š


Ria - Aug. 11, 2022, 1:58 p.m.

Loved it! Delicious! Thank you for sharing!


Anna - Aug. 7, 2022, 11:27 a.m.

This is a heart-warming, satisfying comfort food on this rainy Winter's evening! I may have added too much water so the soup took a little longer to thicken up but the end result was beautiful and creamy. Super delicious with a dollop of yoghurt on top. I served this with pieces of roasted kumara (golden sweet potato) and topped with parsley.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Aug. 7, 2022, 5:34 p.m.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with it, Anna! Being sure to cover partially rather than fully cover the pan can help ensure fluid can evaporate out in case it helps and the pan was fully covered. We're glad it was enjoyed after giving it time to thicken up ๐Ÿ™‚


Keโ€™Aundra - July 31, 2022, 7:16 p.m.

With so little ingredients I was afraid this soup would be too plain, but itโ€™s bursting with flavor! The recommended yogurt on top was awesome, too! I will be making this recipe very often.

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 31, 2022, 9:36 p.m.

So glad the soup was enjoyed, Keโ€™Aundra! Happy cooking ๐Ÿค—

Linda - May 25, 2022, 12:58 a.m.

Can I sub for green lentils instead? Not sure how that would affect the recipe at all but thatโ€™s all I have on hand

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 25, 2022, 5:13 a.m.

Hey Linda, yes green lentils will be firmer and will have an earthier taste than other lentils but we've heard positive reviews with them in the soup still ๐Ÿ™‚


Giovanna - May 8, 2022, 7:43 p.m.

Ricetta terminata da poco ed il gusto รจ OTTIMO. Io perรฒ ho aggiunto il pomodoro e devo dire che รจ stata un'ottima idea.

Fiona - April 7, 2022, 9:49 p.m.

Incredible!! The spices give the recipe such a warm taste and the texture of the lentils is so different from what I usually know in a soup (potatoes, carrots and such). I really loved it! And it goes so well with a cold and dark weather :3

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 10, 2022, 5:16 a.m.

We're so glad it's being enjoyed, Fiona, thank you!


Tina - March 18, 2022, 12:16 a.m.

So easy to make and delicious! Usually make it with sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. Also, appreciate it when you indicate recipes freeze well like this soup as freezing half the recipe for another day makes meal prep easy.

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 18, 2022, 1:12 a.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Tina, and thanks for the feedback! Hopefully, soon we can share more freezer-friendly meals ๐Ÿ˜Š


Kelly - March 17, 2022, 7:03 p.m.

I love the soup! Did you use Hungarian paprika or smoked paprika?

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 17, 2022, 7:38 p.m.

Hey Kelly! The paprika from our local grocery store is a regular (not smoked) paprika. I hope you enjoy the recipe :)

Louise - March 16, 2022, 5:45 a.m.

I love this recipe, so simple and tasty! My son makes it for his family as well - they call it fart soup. I guess they donโ€™t eat lentils as much as I do. Iโ€™ve made this several times and it never disappoints - thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 17, 2022, 5:46 a.m.

Hehe so glad the soup is being enjoyed, Louise, thank you!


Madeleine - March 15, 2022, 6:17 p.m.

Can't wait to try this recipe! What is the best way to heat up leftovers? Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 15, 2022, 6:46 p.m.

Hey Madeleine, we hope you enjoy it! We tend to warm up soups over low-medium heat on the stovetop if we have some extra time, or alternatively in the microwave if we're in more of a pinch. We'd recommend avoiding overheating the soup when reheating and gently stirring if possible as boiling or rough stirring can cause some of the contents, such as the potatoes, to separate.


Emma - March 14, 2022, 10:23 p.m.

Fantastic soup! I made double portion to last a couple of days and topped with a little soy cream and pepper. Served with hemp & rye bread and romaine. Thank you for this as I went on a cooking mission making 3 of your recipes in one night!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 15, 2022, 5:47 a.m.

This is delicious and so easy to make! It's going in my regular recipe rotation. I made enough for a couple of days, and a serving for the freezer. Today, I put it over a bed of fresh spinach and to switch it up tomorrow, I'll put it over a bed of steamed cauliflower. YUM :)

Really easy recipe. Nice take on lentil soup.
The coconut yoghurt really finished the dish.
We ate the 3 person recipe with two people. With three it wouldn't have been enough.

Hello from Mรฉxico! We love your take on nutrition, simple and easier than the one we hear on our country, we swap the chili flakes for something we call "Salsa Macha" which is kind of chilli oil with some nuts and garlic and it taste delicious, I little bit more spicy but great! (:

Elyse - Feb. 13, 2022, 7:33 p.m.

Really fantastic "go-to" for a quick, easy, budget-friendly (most ingredients are things you likely already have), and delicious weeknight meal! The combination of potatoes and paprika reminded me a lot of some great dishes out of Spain, if you're a fan of those flavorings!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 14, 2022, 6:53 a.m.

Abbie - Feb. 5, 2022, 5:01 p.m.

I donโ€™t have bouillon cubes. Would it work to use 4 cups of veggie broth in place of the cube and 3 cups of water?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 6, 2022, 8:31 p.m.

Hey there, Abbie, yes the vegetable bouillon cube and water can be substituted for equal parts vegetable stock or broth. We recommend giving the soup a taste test, and adding some salt if you think it needs it. We hope this helps for now and you enjoy the recipe ๐Ÿ™‚


Alba - Feb. 3, 2022, 4:48 p.m.

I love this lentil soup, it has become a staple for me in the last few months. Simple ingredients, but so flavourful - I love it!
I also made so many different toppings with it - today I used up some stale bread and made simple croutons (with lots of herbs).

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 29, 2022, 7:53 p.m.

Ooo sounds delicious, Julia, thank you for sharing!

Yaya - Jan. 26, 2022, 4:17 a.m.

I really like the added flavour of the balsamic vinigar, would have never thought it goes so well with lentils.
Also, I love the fact that there are few ingredients that give a great taste to this kinda of a classic soup!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 27, 2022, 6:40 p.m.

Emilie - Jan. 16, 2022, 3:34 p.m.

Is it possible to swish the balsamic vinegar with something else? :-)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 16, 2022, 8:38 p.m.

Hey Emilie, the balsamic vinegar helps add flavour and depth to the soup! You could omit it, or experiment with substitutions such as an alternative vinegar with sugar, soy sauce, or lemon juice. We'd recommend giving the soup a taste test in this case and adding more spices to taste if desired ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Shivani - Jan. 29, 2022, 4:49 a.m.

Wondering how red wine vinegar would go with this! Would it need to be balanced with sugar as well?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 29, 2022, 7:37 p.m.

Hey Shivani! You could certainly use red wine vinegar if desired. Depending on your taste preferences though, you may wish to add some sugar to add a touch of sweetness to balance out the soup :)


Jeff - Jan. 16, 2022, 2:52 p.m.

This looks amazing! Out of curiosity, which ingredient has the gluten in it? At first glance it looks GF but I want to make sure I'm not missing something before I try it.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 16, 2022, 8:20 p.m.

Hey Jeff, the toasted whole wheat bread or croutons may contain gluten. You could serve the soup with gluten-free bread or croutons if desired though, or opt for an alternative side. We've added this as a possible substitute on the website for clarity! Just in case you're interested and haven't already seen it, pressing the red-eye within the "contains" box or green-swap button within the "swap out" box, such as the gluten box in this case, shows what ingredients contain the item. We hope this helps and you enjoy the soup if you're able to give it a try ๐Ÿ˜Š

Jeff - Jan. 16, 2022, 8:36 p.m.

Oh I didn't even think about the bread... At this point I just ignore bread haha.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 29, 2021, 12:04 a.m.

Hey Wendy, you're too kind! It means so much that the website and PUL content are being enjoyed ๐Ÿ˜Š The onion and garlic powder help give the soup a more concentrated flavour with less bulk, although feel free to use fresh onion and garlic to taste if desired. We hope you enjoy the soup ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Wendy Meert - Nov. 30, 2021, 1:39 p.m.

Thank you so much for your reply! My lentils were a bit soft. I think maybe I overcooked it?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2021, 1:51 a.m.

Hi Wendy, mushy lentils are usually a sign we might have overcooked them. It can be tricky to avoid this on the first try ๐Ÿ˜Š Lowering the heat a tad so the lentils don't jump around as much in the pot, and reducing the overall cooking time should help. Taste-testing as the lentils cook might also be helpful to gauge how much time to cook them for. We hope this helps for now and do let us know if there's anything else we can help with ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


Ellie - Nov. 28, 2021, 8:34 p.m.

This soup is incredible. While it's so simple and budget friendly, it truly doesn't lack in flavour and this yummy comfort feeling. I LOVE this soup. I added a bit of kale from my yard, cause I like to spot some green in my soups.

Just made for dinner. Quick and easy for busy people. Filling recipe in which I added cumin for even more flavor. I may also add some frozen green beans.


Maria - Nov. 12, 2021, 7:34 p.m.

WOW talk about flavor. This was super easy to make, nutritious, and delicious! I will definitely make it again. I added some Sazรณn completo for some Hispanic flavor!

This is one of our go to recipes! We just made it tonight. I like that it comes together quickly, especially after a long day. We have enjoyed so many of your recipes over the years. Thank you Sadia!

Made this after I saw the video today, and it is so easy and delicious! I didn't have onion powder so I just left that out and added a little more garlic. The one thing I can't figure out is why it's such a deep red in the picture, but mine turned out pale orange. I used sweet Hungarian paprika and Turkish Masoor Dal split red lentils. A keeper regardless though!

Hey there, Claire! Different brands of red lentils and paprika can sometimes vary in their colour. Our images are also edited which can enhance the natural hues ๐Ÿค“ We're so glad the soup was enjoyed in any case ๐Ÿ˜Š


Victoria E - Nov. 6, 2021, 5:21 p.m.

Loved this wholesome and delicious soup! I used dried brown/green lentils that I soaked the night before and scallions (didn't have any onions). It's amazing that you don't need broth for this soup! I will definitely be making this again and again during the fall and winter season.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 6, 2021, 7:11 p.m.

Mmm delicious substitutions, Victoria, and thanks a bunch for the kind words ๐Ÿคฉ


Victoria - Nov. 2, 2021, 2:05 p.m.

I wouldn't have thought such a simple recipe (using water instead of broth, no less) could be so tasty, but I love this stew! The only change I made was to put 1 tbsp of smoked paprika instead of the 1.5 tbsp regular paprika. Both my husband and I enjoyed it. Definitely will be making again.

We're so grateful to hear the soup is being enjoyed, Victoria, thank you for sharing ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


Natalie - Oct. 27, 2021, 9:34 p.m.

This recipe is so easy and yummy! I always add extra vegetables from the fridge. Zucchini especially is my favorite to add to this soup! Sometimes I do half smoked paprika, half regular too! Any way you make it is fast, tasty and budget friendly too!

Mmm love the addition of other vegetables, Natalie! Thanks a bunch for the lovely review ๐ŸŒป


Manuela - Sept. 7, 2021, 8:52 p.m.

AMAZING. I just came back home and got a taste of the soup I made in the afternoon and I'm pleasantly surprised it came out THIS GOOD. I was running so I just left it in the counter to chill while I went out for 2-3hours without even trying it. I don't know why I had this feeling it was going to be bland. It's DELICIOUS and VERY filling. I did add a quarter of a red pepper that was going to go bad and a leaf of leak that was about the meet the same fate. I also accidentally let it dry a bit too much (while I was running around) but it's still great. Thick like a pure and lovely. Thank you!

Aw we appreciate the glowing review so much, Manuela! So glad the soup was enjoyed ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I have to admit that the new photo convinced me to make this soup.
And Im so glad I did it! It's so simple and quick to make and so warming and comforting.

This is my go to when I donโ€™t feel like cooking. Itโ€™s quick, delicious, and hearty.


Dana - July 17, 2021, 11:03 p.m.

This is one of my faves. It's so easy to do and tasty! Also it freezes very well. My favorite topping is sauteed onions and hot sauce.


Jule - July 15, 2021, 10:14 a.m.

I tried this when there basically was nothing left in the fridge and I couldn't be bothered to go shopping before having dinner. This is really comforting, smooth and delicious! It would have been better had I had some joghurt to top it off with... But I still had the leaves of some beet roots (which you can use similarly to mangold leaves) that I chopped and added 5 minutes before serving. I recommend some chopped nuts on top if you miss a crunch factor. Will defenitely make this again.

Sanjana - June 22, 2021, 8:27 p.m.

I made this and it was the best! I had a small pan though and messed up the ratio of lentils and water so it got a bit thick, which was no problem, it tasted amazing. I also added 4 grams of chilli powder. Surprised how easy and delicious this is!

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 24, 2021, 5:57 a.m.

Thank you for the review, Sanjana, and so glad you enjoyed the soup!

I tried this yesterday today and it was super delicious! It's a very simple recipe and I happened to have these ingredients on hand except for the potato (which I substituted with carrot).

A lovely substitution, Zulma! So glad you enjoyed the soup ๐Ÿค—
