Ingredients
-
1 pound green lentils, sorted and rinsed
-
1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
-
1 large onion, diced
-
1 tablespoon jarred minced garlic
-
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
-
7 cups chicken broth
-
1 ½ pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, or more to taste
Directions
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
Recipe Tip
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if desired.
