6
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
Noin 25 min
Kokin vinkki: Stir occasionally to prevent lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
7
Remove the pot from the heat. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend directly in the pot until your desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, carefully transfer portions to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Noin 3 min
Kokin vinkki: If using a regular blender, vent the lid to allow steam to escape and avoid pressure buildup.

Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
Kokin vinkki: A drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper can add a nice kick.
