Chicken Curry Lentil Soup

We enjoyed this Moroccan Chicken Lentil Soup recipe and also made a loaf of homemade herbed Dutch Oven Bread!

This lentil soup is a hearty bowl of love and comfort :) For springtime, you may want to add ham, like in this Ham Lentil Soup! Oh, and if you love lentils, then try this Lentil-Grape Mint Walnut Salad Recipe!

How to Make Chicken Curry Crock Pot Lentil Soup

These easy ingredients go right in the crock pot. And if you can’t find leeks in the grocery store, you can replace them with shallots. 

Another tip? Leave out the chicken and make the soup vegetarian!

  1. Place all of the ingredients (except chicken and fresh herbs) in a slow cooker.
  2. Cover and cook!
  3. At the end, stir in the chicken (optional), cooked peas, and fresh herbs. 
  4. Top each bowl with fresh herbs and serve!

Making a big bowl of comfort soup always makes my mom-heart happy. Even though my kids are gone now, a bowl of soup just feels nourishing!

I don’t know what it is about tossing a bunch of healthy ingredients into a big pot, and then a few hours later, you have this wonderful masterpiece. :)

How to Make Chicken Curry Crock Pot Lentil Soup with leeks

Tips and substitutions:

Did you know that you don’t have to saute leeks first before you cook them?

Slice, dice, and chop eveything, add the seasoning, and throw on the lid.

BAM. A scrumptious bowl of Slow Cooker Lentil Soup for dinner tonight!

Just like mom, grandma and auntie used to make.
