Encyclopedic overview

Lentil soup is a soup with lentils as its main ingredient; brown, red, yellow, green or black lentils, with or without the husk, may be used. Dehulled yellow and red lentils disintegrate during cooking, making a thick soup. Lentil soup is a staple food throughout Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.
