lentil soup
Hearty pulse stew
Lentil soup is a hearty soup made primarily from lentils, typically cooked with vegetables, broth, and spices.
It appears across many cuisines—Middle Eastern, Indian, Mediterranean, Ethiopian—each with distinctive seasonings.
The soup ranges from brothy to thick and porridge-like depending on preparation: We had lentil soup and crusty bread for dinner.
