  • Don't overcook the lentils. Lentils should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. Overcooked lentils will lose their shape and flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic are all great additions to lentil soup. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, spinach, or kale.
  • Season your soup to taste. Lentil soup is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve lentil soup with a variety of toppings. Common toppings for lentil soup include bread, crackers, cheese, and sour cream. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of olive oil.
