Here is how you make Slow Cooker Creamy Lentil Soup:

Combine onion, carrot, celery, pepper, broth, soup, and green lentils in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hour or on high 4-5 hours. Add in red lentils and amaranth, turn up to high and cook one hour more. Add in parsley before serving. Top each serving with a dollop or two of sour cream. Notes: if you do not have red lentils you can just use an additional 1/2 cup of green or brown lentils. I like how the red lentils dissolve into the soup for added body but this is not necessary. I added in the amaranth because it thickens and adds a creaminess to the soup but you could use brown rice (put in at the beginning of cooking) or another grain if desired, or just leave it out altogether. I think some sliced mushrooms would also be great in this.Since how much sour cream you use is variable I did not include it in the nutritional info.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CONNECTED1.
