You could purée all of it if desired or just chop the veggies since it sounds like you like them small. It works either way to suit your preference.

There’s the 2 cups that are reserved at the end that aren’t pureed though right? Not to get all technical, I just didn’t want to end up with huge chunks if it’s supposed to be little diced pieces.

They are pretty much the same thing in my book. It doesn’t really matter in the end because your puree it all together anyway.

Are we dicing or chopping the parsnip/carrots and celery? I’m assuming so, but I want to end up with the great soup everyone seems to be creating, so I better check! Sounds so yummy, can’t wait to give it a whirl!

Yes, it is recommended to soak lentils, beans and such in an acid medium before cooking. Simple combine beans, cover with warm filtered water, and a few tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Soak for 12-24 hours before rinsing, covering with fresh water and cooking.

Sorry I know this is 6 months later, but do they need an acid to soak or do they not? I wasn’t sure by how you answered the question. I am planning to make this soon and this will be the first time I ever soak anything, so I’m clueless! Thanks!

This is a great lentil soup. I added 2 tablespoons of Braggs ACV while it was simmering (I always add ACV to my soups). I didn’t think it was spicy enough… Noticed someone else added cayenne, I’ll try that next time. I also will cut back the water just slightly because I would like to have a little thicker/richer consistency. Always a pleasure to try anything from Passionate Homemaking.

Have you ever tried this in the crockpot?
