Lentil-Vegetable Soup

November 14, 2014 By Kristen Feola

Lentil-Vegetable Soup

Lentil-Vegetable Soup

I love soup because:
1) It’s easy to make.
2) It’s a healthy comfort food that warms you up on a cold day.
3) If you make a big pot for lunch or dinner, you don’t have to cook as much the next day or two (hooray for leftovers!).
The last benefit is probably the most important when you’re on the Daniel Fast. The less time you spend in the kitchen, the better. Then you’ll be freed up to read the Bible and pray. So, remember, when it comes to meal planning for the Daniel Fast, soup is always a wise choice. I hope you enjoy this tasty vegetable soup recipe as much as I do.

Print Recipe
Course Soup
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen sweet peas
  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups Vegetable Broth or water see Recipe Notes
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup dry lentils, rinsed and sorted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add zucchini, peas, carrots, celery, onions, and cook until vegetables are softened. Stir in garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn.
  • Pour in water, tomatoes, and lentils. Add salt, thyme, and pepper, and stir to combine. Heat to boiling, and then reduce heat. Simmer with lid slightly tilted for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle in parsley before serving.
  • Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute vegetables, depending upon your preferences. Other ideas are green beans, lima beans, parsnips, potatoes, and/or summer squash.
  • If you don’t have time to make your own Vegetable Broth, you can use a store-brought brand that’s Daniel Fast friendly. I recommend Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock.

Kristen, I like to have bread with real butter along with soup. If I purchase bread that’s fresh without preservatives would that fit into the Daniel fast? If so, what’s best? multi grain
Please advise. Thanks so much.

Hi, Crystal! Only unleavened bread (without yeast) is allowed on the fast. And, no animal products are a part of the fast (which means butter is out!). 🙂

Sure! Unleavened bread is made without yeast. You can either make your own (Flatbread recipe) or purchase it in a store. Be sure to check any store-bought bread to make sure all ingredients are Daniel Fast friendly.

Do you boil the beans first? if not, I dont believe 30 minutes long enough to allow them to get soft, unless the reccipe is for can lentils?

Hi, David. No, you don’t boil the lentils before you put them in. If the lentils are too firm for your taste after 30 minutes, you can always boil them longer. If you boil for 40-45 minutes, they become mushy. So it depends upon the consistency you prefer. Thanks for your question!

Yes, you can print them. Many of the recipes are also found in my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast. That might be easier than printing out a bunch!

Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
