]]> 62187 1 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/72.jpg Reduce heat Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, add salt and pepper to taste, and let the soup cook gently, stirring from time to time.

]]> 62188 2 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/82.jpg Cook onion In the skillet, add the olive oil and turn the heat to medium. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and soft but not coloring—about two minutes.

]]> 62189 3 96 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/96.jpg Cook garlic Add the garlic to the skillet with the onion and cook for another minute, until the garlic is fragrant.

]]> 62190 4 104 Tip If the garlic burns, don’t think it will just blend in—it won’t. Garlic becomes noticeably bitter when burnt.

]]> 62191 5 111 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/111.jpg Add garlic/onions to soup After the lentils are tender to the bite—depending on the variety you use that could take anywhere from 25 to 40 minutes—remove the bay leaf and the thyme branches and stir in the onion-garlic mixture to the pot.

]]> 62192 6 125 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/125.jpg Thin soup if too thick If the soup gets too thick, thin it by adding a little more stock until you reach the consistency you prefer. If necessary, season with more salt and pepper.

]]> 62193 7 135 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/164013/135.jpg Garnish If you like, add a dollop of plain yogurt just before serving. Et voila: a bowl of fresh lentil soup.

]]> 62194 8 146 Fact It’s believed that the first lentil crop was cultivated more than 8,500 years ago, in the Near East, but they didn’t show up in the United States until the early 1900s.
