💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked lentils against the side of the pot.
- ✓Adjust the spices according to your preference. A pinch of chili flakes can add a little heat.
- ✓If you don't have chicken broth, vegetable broth or water can be used, but chicken broth adds more depth of flavor.
