Make sure to rinse well before cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diced Tomatoes<\/strong>: Form the rich tomato base for the soup and add plenty of flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tomato Paste<\/strong>: Adds extra richness and helps deepen the tomato flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweetcorn<\/strong>: Adds little bursts of sweetness that work really well with the spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zucchini (Courgette)<\/strong>: Adds extra vegetables while blending nicely into the soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red Pepper<\/strong>: Adds colour, sweetness and extra texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jalape\u00f1o<\/strong>: Gives the soup a gentle kick of heat. Remove the seeds for a milder flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vegetable Stock<\/strong>: Helps cook the lentils and creates a delicious flavourful broth. Be sure to use the right ratio of stock cubes or paste to water for a balanced, tasty broth. Too little and it'll taste flat; too much and it can become overly salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt and Black Pepper<\/strong>: Important for seasoning and balancing all the flavours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cooking Oil Spray<\/strong>: Used for softening the vegetables without needing lots of oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Taco Seasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Granulated Sweetener<\/strong> :Balances the spices and acidity from the tomatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chilli Powder<\/strong>: Adds warmth and classic taco flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paprika<\/strong>: Adds a subtle smoky sweetness to the soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cumin<\/strong>: Gives the soup that earthy taco flavour that works perfectly with lentils.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oregano<\/strong>: Adds extra savoury flavour and works beautifully with the spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cayenne Pepper<\/strong>: Adds heat, which can easily be adjusted to your preferred spice level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion Powder and Garlic Powder<\/strong>: Add extra depth and savoury flavour to the seasoning mix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This taco lentil soup is really easy to adapt depending on what ingredients you have on hand and how spicy you like things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap the green lentils for brown lentils if preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black beans or kidney beans can be added alongside the lentils for extra protein and texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweet potato works really well in place of butternut squash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add extra vegetables like mushrooms, spinach or carrots to bulk the soup out even more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce the jalape\u00f1o and cayenne pepper for a milder family friendly soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add extra chilli flakes or hot sauce if you like more heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A splash of lime juice before serving adds a lovely fresh flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smoked paprika can be used instead of regular paprika for a smokier flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir through a little light cream cheese or soured cream for a creamier soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top with avocado, crushed tortilla chips, grated cheese or sour cream for extra texture and flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cooked Quinoa or rice can be stirred into the soup to make it even more filling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Taco Lentil Soup - the delicious spicy flavour of tacos using lentils instead of meat for a filling hearty meal that even the kids will enjoy.
