Chickpea and Lentil Soup (Mediterranean)

Chickpea and Lentil Soup is beautiful, hearty, and scrumptious. It's quick to put together in the slow cooker.

Mediterranean Chickpea Lentil Soup

Chickpea and Lentil Soup is oh-so-tasty, with a Mediterranean flair.

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen telling you about another wonderful slow cooker vegan recipe from Robin Robertson's cookbook, Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. It is truly my best slow-cooker resource. As usual, I changed several ingredients in the original recipe (eliminating the lemon and adding mint), but it's based on Robertson's "Moroccan-style Lentil and Chickpea Soup." I think adding the mint made a huge difference. It was wicked good.

What You Need

For this recipe you will need a slow cooker, sauté pan, knife, cutting board, and measuring cups and spoons. I absolutely love Robertson's cookbook. Every. Single. Recipe. Is. Amazing. Get one for yourself.

A bit of mint makes this slow cooker Mediterranean Chickpea and Lentil Soup so bountiful. Lots of flavor and protein. Easy as 1-2-3.
