THE BEST LENTIL SOUP
Brown lentils are the star of this dish. To boost flavor, we used a classic mirepoix-onion, celery and carrot - as well as thyme, bay and oregano for an herby finish. We found the fresh lemon juice and parsley at the end brightened up the soup and added a nice pop of color.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are starting to caramelize and take on a dark brown color, 8 to 10 minutes (this step is important as it will add tons of flavor to your soup!).
- Stir in the tomato paste and garlic and cook, scraping up the brown bits, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the lentils, stock, 4 cups water, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of black pepper and stir to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the lentils are softened with just a bit of bite, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf. Puree 2 1/2 cups of the soup in a blender until smooth then stir back into the pot. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Ladle into bowls and garnish with more parsley.

EASY LENTIL SOUP
The earthy flavor of the lentils is set off by the tartness of the tomatoes and a spoonful of wine vinegar, which is stirred in just before serving the soup.

EASIEST LENTIL SOUP
This earthy, simple-to-make lentil soup can be embellished however you please. Leave it plain, and it's warming and velvety. Or dress it up as you like, either with one or two of the suggested garnishes listed in the recipe (see Tip), or with anything else in your pantry or fridge. If you'd like to make this in a pressure cooker, reduce the stock to 3 1/2 cups, and cook on high pressure for 12 minutes, allowing the pressure to release naturally.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until onions start to brown at the edges, stirring frequently, 6 to 9 minutes.
- Stir in stock, lentils, thyme and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until lentils are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs.
- Stir in garlic, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and use an immersion blender to purée the soup to the desired consistency, keeping it chunky or making it smooth. (Alternatively, ladle it into a blender and blend in batches.) Stir in vinegar, then taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed.
- In a small bowl, toss radicchio, if using, and parsley with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of salt. To serve, ladle soup into bowls and top with a small mound of radicchio and parsley, and/or any other garnishes you like.

- Place a large pot over high heat with 4 cups of water. When the water comes to a boil, add the lentils, turn down to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain the lentils, rinse and set aside.
- Place the pot back over medium high heat and coat with olive oil. Add the onion and carrots. Cook for about a minute until soft, then add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the bay leaf and the lentils and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring to coat with the oil. Add the broth and the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Bring heat down to a medium, cover and cook until lentils are tender, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer 2 cups of the soup to blender and purée until smooth. Return the purée back to the pot and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of vinegar if desired. (FYI, we were split down the middle on the vinegar in the test kitchen – one of us loved, one hated, one was undecided.)
