Lentil Soup with Arugula Salad

This hearty soup is rich in plant-based protein and fiber, while the arugula salad adds a refreshing, peppery balance. Lentils are linked to improved blood sugar control and satiety, making this a true Mediterranean staple.

Notes

For a creamier soup, blend half the cooked lentils and return to the pot. For chunkier, leave it unblended. The squeeze of lemon juice at the end is essential — it brightens the earthy lentils. Don’t add lemon during cooking; it can toughen lentils. Use a good-quality vegetable broth (or homemade) for richer flavor. If you prefer a lighter taste, go half broth + half water.

Hey! Are the lentils red or brown ? (Or even yellow or black?)

Brown but French lentils are also an option but take longer to cook. I use brown!
