Lentil, zucchini and celery soup is made by simmering lentils with chopped zucchini, celery and onion until tender. Cover the vegetables with water or stock, cook until the lentils soften, then blend all or part of the soup to get your preferred texture.
Red lentils work especially well in lentil, zucchini and celery soup because they cook quickly and break down into a thick texture. Brown or green lentils hold their shape more, so allow extra cooking time and expect a chunkier soup.
No, celery does not overpower lentil, zucchini and celery soup when you use a moderate amount. It adds a gentle savory flavor alongside the lentils and zucchini. If you are unsure about its taste, start with less celery and adjust the next time.
You can blend lentil, zucchini and celery soup, but it is not essential. Blending makes the lentils and vegetables creamy, while leaving it unblended keeps more texture. For a middle ground, blend about half and stir it back into the pot.
Yes, lentil, zucchini and celery soup freezes well. Cool it promptly, divide it into airtight freezer containers, and leave room for expansion. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly, adding a splash of water or stock if it has thickened.
Lentil, zucchini and celery soup keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when stored in a covered container. Refrigerate it once it has cooled, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Crusty bread, a green salad, or a simple sandwich pairs well with lentil, zucchini and celery soup. For a heartier meal, serve it with a grain such as rice or bulgur; a squeeze of lemon can brighten the bowl.
Blend some or all of the lentils and vegetables to make lentil, zucchini and celery soup creamy without adding cream. Red lentils naturally soften as they cook, so simmering them until tender also gives the soup a thicker, smoother body.
Yes, canned lentils can be used in lentil, zucchini and celery soup. Add them after the zucchini and celery have softened, then simmer briefly so they warm through without turning mushy. Drain and rinse them first to remove the canning liquid.
Cumin, black pepper, thyme, and parsley all complement lentil, zucchini and celery soup. Cumin gives it a warm, earthy note, while fresh parsley or a little lemon added at serving keeps the flavor bright. Add spices gradually and taste as you go.

Lentil, Zucchini and Celery Soup brings lentils together with mild zucchini and aromatic celery in a simple, home-style soup. It fits naturally alongside the lentil soups familiar in Turkish cooking, while the combination of vegetables makes it an easy choice for everyday meals.
Cook it until the lentils are tender, then leave it chunky or blend it smooth. Serve warm for lunch or supper, with lemon, herbs or bread; in Turkey, a squeeze of lemon is a familiar finishing touch for lentil soup. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 4.3 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter bowl, use modest amounts of oil and let the vegetables provide much of the body.
