  Step 4

  Recipe Tips

  To make this dish vegetarian, start by replacing the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Then, omit the chicken and use double the amount of lentils.

  For a kid-friendly dish, purée the lentils in the soup so that picky eaters can’t fish them out. Suit your child’s taste preferences by omitting the yogurt and chives, if need be.

  For a spicier take on this dish, heat 4 teaspoons of canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add in 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds and 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes and toast until seeds start to pop. Add these to the soup after puréeing.
