Legumes

  • 1 cup lentils, rinsed

Liquids & Oil

  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Notes

  • Rinsing lentils before cooking helps remove dust and dirt.
  • Add more vegetable broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
  • For added flavor, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • Adjust seasoning carefully if using low-sodium broth to control salt levels.
