Rice And Lentil Crockpot Soup

Rice and Lentil Soup Recipe

One of the easiest ways to cook lentils or any beans and pulses, is in a crockpot as they take a while to cook.

• 2 cups of brown lentils, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups of long grain rice, rinsed and drained
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 2 ribs of celery, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 9 cups of water
• 3 vegetable stock cubes
• 4 sprigs of fresh thyme
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 1 cup of mushrooms, sliced

Place all the ingredients in the crockpot except the mushrooms.

Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 7 hours.

Add the mushrooms to the crockpot and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes. Serve the crockpot rice and lentil soup garnished with fresh thyme.
