This hearty lentil soup gets its robust flavor from the tiny, green French lentils., which are are high in soluble fiber and less starchy than common brown or green lentils. Refrigerate the soup for up to 2 days. Let return to room temperature and reheat gently, adding more water to adjust the consistency if necessary.
