Can I make this with other lentils?

Yes, but other kinds of lentils may take longer to cook than red split lentils, so you’ll need to adjust the cook time accordingly. More information about lentils can be found here .

Can I make this soup thicker?

Of course! Either use an extra cup of lentils or reduce the amount of broth in the soup. Be careful about reducing the broth, though, because less volume of liquid means that the spices will taste stronger. So you may want to drop the amount of curry powder too if you use less broth overall.

I’m not vegan. Can I add non-vegan protein to this?

Sure! We think the soup is actually really delicious for omnivores and plant-based eaters alike, but if you want to add another protein, go for it. Just cook it in the pot first, then add the veggies and build the soup around it.

Can I make this soup gluten-free?

Absolutely. Everything in this soup is gluten-free, but some veggie broth brands might contain gluten. Be sure to grab one that is gluten-free so that your soup doesn’t contain any unwanted gluten.
