Both French green lentils (available in natural-foods stores and specialty markets) and more commonly available brown lentils are delicious in this soup. Use green lentils, red lentils, brown lentils or a lentil soup mix. All it takes is a hint of spice flavourings, bay leaves and finishing it off with a touch of lemon to elevate this soup. This Green Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk and Indian Spices is bursting with flavor from coconut milk, toasted spices, and ghee. Red lentils work best for this soup, as they cook quickly but not too quickly, and they break down a bit in the broth, adding to the soup's creamy texture.
