Green Lentil Soup Ingredients

easy to make green lentil soup

Most of the ingredients I share with you today you most likely will have in your kitchen pantry.  If you don’t have a bag or two of lentils you need to add that to your shopping list ASAP.  There are so many good reasons to have lentils in your diet.  I want to note I am using my Electric Power Pressure to put this together today.  You can also make this on a stovetop (it just takes longer).

  • Green Lentils
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Celery
  • Broccoli Slaw Mix (broccoli, carrots, and red cabbage)
  • Sesame Seed Oil
  • Chinese Five Spice ( star anise, fennel seeds, peppercorns, cloves and cinnamon)
  • Turmeric
  • salt and pepper
  • Lemon
  • Microgreens (optional)

Don’t forget to scroll down to see the complete directions and ingredients.  There is a printable recipe card on this post.

Green Lentil Soup Recipe Video

I invite you to join me in my kitchen as I show you just how easy this recipe is to make.  I noted earlier that you can make this same recipe in your Instant Pot or even the stovetop.  Stove Top cooking will take longer than in the Electric Pressure Cooker.  If using an electric pressure cooker be sure to follow your manual directions so the lentils are cooked properly.  I’ve used this recipe in both Instant Pot and XL Power Pressure Cooker and the lentils cook up perfectly!

The soup recipe video is part of my Bren Haas Channel.  If you have a hard time viewing please consider reaching out to me on my website.

Pin Print Turkey Sausage Cabbage Soup Recipe Recipe by Bren HaasCourse: SoupCuisine: AmericanDifficulty: EasyServings 8 servingsPrep time 7 minutesCooking time 20-25 minutes Ingredients 1 pound of ground turkey sausage 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1/2 cup of sweet onion  (diced) 2 teaspoons of garlic (minced) 1/2 cup carrot (shredded)  1 1/2 cups of diced cabbage 1/3 cup celery (diced)  salt and pepper (optional) 12 ounce can of diced tomatoes 4-5 cups of chicken stock parsley and parmesan cheese topping Directions In a stock pot brown the ground turkey sausage.  If needed, add water to prevent from going dry while cooking. Turkey sausage should be cooked to 165*F . Once meat is cooked, move to the side to sauté onions.   Move meat aside and heat up olive oil to sauté onions.  If there is ‘grease’ in the pot just use that instead of olive oil to sauté onion.  Add celery and garlic to the saute mixing well.  Cook an additional minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Slowly pour in chicken stock.  I use 4-5 cups of water and chicken bouillon.  Cook the soup for about 10 minutes at a high boil.  Be sure to stir so the ingredients do not stick to the bottom of the pan.  Add additional water if needed.  Let soup slowly simmer for about 20 minutes or unti lthe carrots and cabbage are soft..  The soup can be left in the slow cooker on low all day and enjoyed with ready for a meal.  Garnish soup with parsley and parmesan cheese if desired.  Sourdough bread goes great with this recipe.

  1. yes… indeed! Today I am actually starting more microgreens indoors and in the dome. My stash in the window box outside here in Ohio is getting a little tired. I can’t believe they have made it this far. I’ll do a quick video to show you how they look later to post on my site. Here is a photo from the box right now! Read my current footnotes about it here: https://brenhaas.com/spicy-microgreens-in-january/

  2. That looks delicious! And the sprouts make it even more nutritious.
