What is South Indian Lentil Soup?

Lentil soup is a type of soup that uses lentils as its main component. It can be vegetarian or contain meat, and it can utilise any type of lentil—brown, red, yellow, green, or black—husk included or not. When cooked, dehulled yellow and red lentils liquefy and produce a thick soup. It is a common dish in the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe. Vegetables including carrots, potatoes, celery, parsley, tomato, pumpkin, ripe plantains, and onions may be added to lentil soup. Garlic, bay leaves, cumin, olive oil, and vinegar are typical flavourings.
