Introduction

If you choose to use red lentils, note that they cook faster than brown lentils so watch them closely. If this soup seems to dry out, add a little more water as necessary. It is a very thick and rich soup, however, so don't add too much. If you choose to use red lentils, note that they cook faster than brown lentils so watch them closely.
