Tips:
- For a thicker soup, use 1 cup less broth or water. For a thinner soup, use 1 cup more broth or water.
- You can use any type of lentils for this soup. Brown lentils are the most common, but green lentils, red lentils, or black lentils can also be used.
- Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup deepens their flavor and gives the soup a more complex taste.
