How to cook dry lentils

Place the dry lentils in a large stock pot. For perfectly soft lentils, cook 1 cup of dry lentils with 3 cups of liquid. Bring the liquid and lentils to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Continue to cook for about 30-40 minutes, until lentils are soft.

For this vegan lentil soup recipe, the lentils are cooked along with the vegetables and seasoning all at once. There is no need to cook the lentils separately!
