If you love this healthy crockpot soup,
you’ll love it too: vegetarian chili crockpot, slow cooker Thai chicken soup, and slow cook enchilada soup
. I love my
crockpot.
Liiiiike I love it so much that I think I need to buy a few more, because all I want to do is have every meal made in my cooking pot
:
- Breakfast: pumpkin oatmeal crockpot
- Lunch: BBQ chicken salad
- Dinner: Slow cook chicken lentil soup
,
I mean. There is nothing better than a cooking pot.
Usually, all
you need to do is throw everything together, place it in the slow cooker and walk away. By the time you’re home for dinner, dinner is ready to go!
Sorry, I’m obsessed.
This particular recipe is one of my new favorites.
Not only does it taste so, so delicious, but it’s also ridiculously healthy

Lean chicken breasts and protein/fiber-filled lentils make up the bulk of this soup, but it’s also full of onions, garlic, tomatoes, and lots of tasty spices!
This slow-cooked chicken lentil soup is my dream meal.

Ok. It’s Wednesday. Let’s be honest, how is everyone doing in their New Year’s resolutions? It’s the third day (Friday and weekend didn’t count 😉 totally), and I’m still doing well! I’ve started my Barre classes again <, another obsession of mine… and Trevor and I have gone back to working like crazy and eating healthy foods.
On Monday (look at that vegan granola, it’s so addictive), I mentioned that meal prep is how I like to stay on track with healthy eating.
This slow cook chicken lentil soup is p.e.r.f.e.c.t. for that. Make a batch of this on Sunday and have your lunches or dinners ready for the rest of the week. I would say this recipe is enough for 8 large servings and guess what?
It’s less than 350 calories per serving with a whopping 32.8 grams of protein!
mind. Blown.
This soup is full of protein, fiber and is seriously filling thanks to chicken and lentils
