Notes

  • The beauty of this soup recipe is that anything would be great to add here. Something like fresh kale, spinach, carrots, or sweet potatoes. 
  • Just add them halfway after you add the lentils because the lentils need to cook the longest.
  • I love finishing off my lamb lentil soup with some cooling Greek yogurt, chopped chilies, cilantro, and tomatoes. This is certainly optional, but it really does give your lentil soup a nice contrast in texture and freshness.
