Notes
- 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.
I made this soup while doing my Daniel fast in January. It is delicious. It’s so good that I am making it again for a old winter night. It’s a keeper!
So glad you liked it!
I just don’t know what is right to eat and what not.
Hi, Veronica! You can see the Daniel Fast Food List HERE. Also, my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, is a HUGE help!
Hi Kristen,
I didn’t think salt was allowed on the Daniel fast. Please advise 🙂
Hi, Stephanie! Salt is allowed in moderation to flavor recipes. Thanks for your question!
Hi there,
Is shellfish allowed like mussels, kina, oysters etc
Hi, Denise! Unfortunately, no animal products are allowed on the fast. Thanks for your question, though!

I made this soup with mung beans instead of the chick peas b/c thats what I had on-hand and it came out great! Loved it! I just modified the amounts: 1/2 c lentils and 1/2 mung beans. The cinnamon and cumin are an amazing combination – thank you for the recipe! My fast is coming along great too…pressing in to the Lord.
We thoroughly enjoyed this soup! And prep only took ten minutes. Simple and delicious.
