Tips:

  • Don't overcook the lentils. They should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they'll become mushy and the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Add a ham bone or smoked ham hock for extra flavor. This will give the soup a rich, smoky flavor. If you don't have a ham bone or hock, you can use a teaspoon of smoked paprika instead.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a little bit of acidity.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
