Notes

  • Make sure to use rinsed and dry lentils for this soup. It tastes outstanding when lentils are cooked together with all the ingredients. 
  • If you plan to store it refrigerator for later use, lentil cilantro soup may thicken. In that case just add more vegetable broth while warming it up and adjust salt according to taste.
