Tips

For a thicker and creamier Red Lentil Soup, simply add only 1/3 of the lentils to the sautéed vegetables initially, add the broth and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the remaining lentils and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.

Storage

Leftover Red Lentil Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. If you’ve only used fresh ingredients, you can also freeze it.
