"These powerful legumes have sustained life across the globe, and today, India, Pakistan, France, Lebanon, Italy, and many more countries still use them regularly.

"Lentil soup is so comforting and nourishing. But if not prepared well, it can taste kind of bland. The key isn't so much the cooking process (that's easy), but rather in using the right combination of ingredients in the form of fat, spice, salt, and citrus. We tested six popular lentil soup recipes, each with a unique spin, to see which one brought the most flavor. One certainly did."
"We scoured the internet for the best lentil recipes before landing on these six. Common themes were spice, and lots of it. Curry, turmeric, citrus, and herbs all make regular appearances. Though, Ina Garten's recipe is the outlier of the group. It goes a more traditional, American-centric route for soup, adding kielbasa and Parmesan cheese."
Lentils have nourished civilizations for thousands of years and remain staples in countries like India, Pakistan, France, Lebanon, and Italy. When cooked properly lentils offer varied flavors and textures and work especially well in soups. Lentil soup becomes bland if ingredients are weak; balance of fat, spice, salt, and citrus is crucial. Six popular lentil soup recipes present diverse spins with common themes of curry, turmeric, citrus, and herbs.
