Lentil Soup with Mushroom Chicken Bone Broth

In any corner of the world, lentil soup is a filling, delicious, and wholesome staple. Upgrade it with a little Kettle & Fire Chicken Mushroom Bone Broth, and it’s more than just a tasty soup you can feel good about eating—it’s a protein-containing meal that satisfies.

Made with typical pantry staples, this delicious soup is a main dish that’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner that doesn’t take a long time to cook.

While we make it on the stovetop, you could easily adjust it to cook in a crockpot or slow cooker. This soup recipe is also easily adjusted to feed a family or to make enough for lunch leftovers the following day.

A modification of one of your favorite comfort foods, this lentil soup contians dietary fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants. A little olive oil rounds out the flavor, while a touch of lemon juice (or red wine vinegar, if you have it) brightens it all up.

We like to use green lentils (also known as French lentils), but you could substitute red lentils or any other lentils you have in your pantry. An optional dollop of Greek yogurt at the end adds a bit of tart creaminess. You could also finish it up with some parmesan cheese.
