Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine all ingredients through saffron (reserve water, flour, cilantro and lemon) in crock pot. Turn to High for 5-7 hours or Low for 10-12 hours - lentils can take awhile to cook.

Step 2

With 30 minutes remaining, combine water and flour and stir into crock pot. Turn to High and allow flour mixture to thicken soup. Before serving add juice of 1/2 lemon and 1/4 cup cilantro. Top with remaining cilantro before serving.

An interesting high-fiber vegetarian soup that is filling enough for a main meal. I did forget the cilantro and lemon and skipped the celery, but used celery salt in place of the regular salt. Heats up great for the second day too.

My son is eating many meatless meals since his girlfriend became vegetarian. This one was easy to prepare and was a hit with both of them! The spices were very fragrant as it simmered. We served over whole grain couscous. Thanks BrookeTheCook - he wants to learn to make this one himself!

Delicious soup! And easy, too! I skipped the thickening step, since mine was quite thick without it. The lemon juice is a nice touch just before serving. We are not vegetarian, but like to have a meatless night now and then, and this fit the bill! I also added 1 clove of garlic, minced, before cooking.
