NOTES:
*For creamy lentil soup, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches your desired texture.
*This soup is more flavorful the longer it sits and tastes even better the next day. If you can make it one day in advance to allow the flavors to develop, it is well worth the patience!
*Store any leftover lentil soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you’d like to freeze this soup, double bag two large 1-gallon freezer bags and secure them tightly. Freeze for up to three months.
