This soup is a great make-ahead meal. You can make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy dinner.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The lentils are disguised in the soup, so they don't even know they're eating them.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

I'm not usually a fan of dhal, but this soup was delicious! The spices were well-balanced and the lentils were so creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.
