LENTIL SOUP

FAQs

1. Can I use canned lentils?
Yes, you can use canned lentils if you’re short on time. Just reduce the cooking time to about 15-20 minutes since the lentils are already cooked.

2. Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
Absolutely! Simply sauté the vegetables and spices in a pan first, then transfer everything to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the lentils are tender.

3. How can I make this soup creamier?
If you prefer a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot, or transfer about one-third of the soup to a blender and puree it, then stir it back into the pot.
