This vegan green lentil soup gets its tangy flavor from ground sumac and its thickness from a small amount of our Fine Bulgur. Our Green Eston Lentils hold their shape well through long cooking times, so the lentils should retain quite a bit of their structure, giving the soup extra body and texture.
