I have a recipe for a soup that has me chop up all the veggie, cook everything until tender, then puree it. The last time I made this soup I decided that lentils would be an interesting addition. I have two questions.
1. How long do lentils need to cook. The soup simmers for about 30 minutes. That should be long enough for the lentils right?
2. How would I cook the lentils in the soup, but then be able to remove then so they do not puree with the rest of the ingredients? I was thinking of tying them up in cheese cloth and dropping them into the soup. Would that work? Would I be better off cooking them on their own somehow? Any other ideas?
