Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

Just red lentils and veggies? Are they split or whole?
Split. I can’t stop making it. I just throw some in vegetable broth with carrots, celery. This time I added diced potatoes to use them up. Sometimes I’ll add small pasta or rice. I just love it. Last week I added quinoa and spinach.

So it's like pureed, with veggies added?
I've never just used split red, always half, and half brown/green or black whole..
I add the red to thicken it up, so I'm trying to think how I'd like it without the whole lentils :shrug:
Seems like it would be the lentil version of split pea?

It’s not really puréed… but the red lentils do get soft so I can see why you would think that. I don’t let them get so mushy that they disintegrate completely, just partially. I don’t like thick soups. I always add a lot of broth/stock.
