INGREDIENTS

  • Legumes

    • 1 pound green lentils, sorted and rinsed

  • Vegetables

    • 🍅 1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
    • 🧅 1 large onion, diced
    • 🧄 1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic

  • Spices

    • 2 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
    • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

  • Liquid

    • 7 cups chicken broth

  • Protein

    • 1 ½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

STEPS

1

Combine green lentils, tomatoes, onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth and stir gently to evenly distribute seasonings. Settle chicken thighs into broth, ensuring they are submerged in liquid.

2

Cook on High for 4 hours. Chicken should be falling off the bone and lentils should be tender (if not, cook a little bit longer).

3

Use tongs to remove chicken from soup to a cutting board. Pull meat off the bones with tongs and either rough chop or break apart into bite-sized pieces; discard the bones. Stir meat into soup and adjust seasonings as desired.
