Easy carrot lentil soup teeming with vegetables and garnished with fresh green onion. Perfect for an every day fall, winter, or spring one-pot soup.

Everyday Carrot Lentil Soup by Flora & Vino

Recently on Instagram, I asked what one food you could eat for a week and not get sick of.

The most common answer…was soup!

Soup people, you’re my people.

I’ve always been a soup lover, way back to childhood when my parents gave us big bowls of lentil soup on busy weekend days packed with activities.

I imagined my spoon to be a tiny raft, corralling tender lentils and the occasional carrot and celery chunk to their delicious demise.

Recently, I recreated my favorite with lots of leftover vegetables in my fridge.

This Everyday Carrot Lentil Soup is flavorful and filling, with an easy recipe you can make in 30 minutes in one pot.

Grab a bowl and a spoon and let’s get to herding legumes and veg.

This carrot lentil soup is simple, but it’s packed with flavor.

Originally I had planned to puree the pot’s contents here for a smooth finish, but I couldn’t bring myself to massacre those glistening vegetable chunks.

I mean, look at them.

Lentils add protein and fiber, and lots of carrots and celery add color and nourishment.

Cumin (my favorite spice) adds a nice warm early undertone to the light broth.

If you’re oil-free, simple omit the oil and sub more vegetable broth for an interlay oil-free recipe.

I used Cal-Organic Farms produce to bring this soup to life.

If you shop organic, you may have heard of Cal-Organic Farms produce– they’re one of the largest organic vegetable producers in the U.S.!

Their organic vegetables are always fresh and high-quality, adding vibrancy and nutrition to my meals.

In this recipe, I used Cal-Organic Farms onion, carrots, and celery in the base of this soup, then topped it all off with a handful of green onions.

These slender, crisp root vegetables, also known as scallions or spring onions, are loaded with vitamins and minerals that boost bone health, eye health, heart health, and immunity system health!

My favorite way to use them is as a raw garnish to soups or cooked in with my Loaded Veggie Tofu Scramble Bowl for an extra boost of nutrition and onion-like flavor.

The best part is that Cal-Organic supplies these green onions year round, so you can enjoy them no matter the season.

Like the title suggests, you can enjoy this Everyday Carrot Lentil Soup any day everyday.

I like to make a big pot on Sunday and dish out ladle-fulls all week long.

Try it for a cozy family dinner, easy leftover lunch, or with a soup/salad combo.

If you’re looking for a little extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne.

Don’t forget to add a big handful of green onions for a fresh zippy finish.

A dollop of almond milk yogurt is great here, too!

The soup keeps well for several days in the fridge and can be frozen for long term storage.

If you make a pot of this Everyday Carrot Lentil Soup I’d love to hear what you think!

Be sure to leave me a comment, rating, and review so I can use your feedback to create more yums.

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Instagram post 17860325119620266 On Sundays we breakfast all day. 🍳 Dipping my favorite @hilaryseatwell spicy veggie sausage patties in mustard in front of my mini Christmas tree and wouldn’t have it any other way. 🌲If you’ve never tried these vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free plant-based sausages you need to put them on your Christmas list for Santa ASAP. 🎅 What’s your favorite @hilaryseatwell dip? 😏 Sometimes I do guac or hummus or ketchup but mustard is my TOP. -
Fueling after a morning hike with the pup and a working day here at F&V...hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday! 😘

Instagram post 17842500349878252 I made cauliflower rice bowls for dinner this week that reminded me of this LENTIL WINTER SQUASH CAULIFLOWER RICE POWER BOWL. 🍲 It just hit me that I haven’t had red kuri squash yet this season and that needs to change! Like now! If you’ve never tried red kuri I highly recommend it— it’s another squash with super soft skin that easy to work with and even easier to devour. 🤤 if you don’t have red kuri you can still make it with your favorite winter squash like butternut or acorn squash instead! Grab the recipe on Flora & Vino— link is in my profile!

About to dawn my dress and surrender my hair and makeup to my gal pal for a Christmas party this evening— excited to get festive! PS I went with the red shoes (for those that watched my stories and had strong shoe opinions) 😘😘😘. 👠

Instagram post 18107441725077368 Hey smoothie bowls can be red and green, too! 🎄Like this EVERGREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL that’s banana-free and packed with berries, nut butter, and tons of frozen leafy greens to get that vibrant mossy color! 🍨 I love mine filled with pomegranate arils, coconut, and granola. You can also use fresh greens in this recipe but frozen is best for the thickest smoothie bowl texture. Grab the recipe link in my profile and stock up on ingredients this weekend! -
Up bright and early today for a day filled with pampering. ☀️ My friend so kindly asked me to her office Christmas party so I’m excited to get dolled up and go out in a 👗 and 👠! Hope you have a great weekend! .

Instagram post 17869586221527783 Heading to book club tonight and I’m bringing the DIP. 😎 If I was really on my game I would have whipped up this CREAMY CAULIFLOWER DIP that’s paleo, vegan, and oil-free! It also just happens to be a pretty red and green spread if you pair it with beet chips and fresh parsley like I like. 😚 Serve it warm or chilled— I like mine straight out of the blender with a little warmth from the blades. 👌🏻

I feel bringing this might offset the fact that I didn’t read EITHER of our books this month 😂😂😂.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Just hung out with my nieces and nephews and one of my nieces is asking for an American girl doll for Christmas. I was beyond excited to hear this because American girl dolls were always on my Christmas list growing up! I think I had the entire collection at once point...but my first doll was Felicity. 👧 Anyone else an American Girl Doll OG?
