vegan lentil soup recipe, super easy to make

Being the mom of vegan can have it’s challenges…

Especially when everyone else in the house is omnivorous.

I am always looking for vegan recipes that will make carnivores happy too!

I usually try to cook a recipe that I can either adapt to be vegan or a vegan recipe that I can adapt to be more carnivorous.

This hearty lentil and farro stew is ‘meaty’ enough to satisfy everyone in my house.

I use two different types of lentils, red lentils, and black beluga lentils and also farro.

Farro is a hearty ancient grain. When cooked in a soup it has a chewy texture similar to bulgar wheat.

The farro gives this stew a wonderful texture.

I also like using the farro because, unlike rice, it holds up to being reheated as leftovers. Rice always gets mushy after you’ve left in the fridge for a few days. Farro does not. This stew also has a curry flavor that is warming and comforting.

Vegan Lentil and Farro Soup

I think you will agree that this stew is a true crowd-pleaser for everyone in your house.

Usually, I suggest a vegan substitutions for a recipe.

But, for this recipe, I will suggest a carnivorous one.

Adding about a pound of chopped chicken or ground lamb makes this dish truly carnivore friendly. You can also boost the nutrition by adding kale or spinach – for a nice serving of dark greens.
