What is Lentil Noodle Soup?
Lentil Noodle Soup is a homestyle soup of lentils cooked with short noodles. In Turkey, the noodles are often erişte, a traditional pasta that may be made at home; onion, tomato paste and herbs can add depth, though recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The broth is gently thick, with tender lentils and soft noodles in each spoonful. It is commonly served hot as a filling everyday meal, especially in cooler weather, and a squeeze of lemon or some bread makes an easy accompaniment. Lentils contribute protein and fibre, while the noodles make the soup more substantial. For a lighter bowl, use less oil and noodles while keeping plenty of lentils.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lentil Noodle Soup
What is in Lentil Noodle Soup?
Lentil Noodle Soup combines lentils and short noodles in a savory broth, often with onion, tomato paste, and spices. Recipes vary: some use red lentils for a softer, thicker soup, while others keep the lentils whole.
How do you make Lentil Noodle Soup?
Cook onion with tomato paste and seasonings, add lentils and broth, and simmer until the lentils are tender. Stir in the noodles near the end and cook until just soft, so they do not turn mushy.
Can you use red lentils in Lentil Noodle Soup?
Yes, red lentils work well in Lentil Noodle Soup and soften quickly, giving the broth a thicker texture. Brown or green lentils hold their shape more, so allow extra cooking time before adding the noodles.
What kind of noodles are used in Lentil Noodle Soup?
Short, plain noodles are commonly used in Lentil Noodle Soup; Turkish erişte, small pasta, or broken strands all work. Choose noodles of similar size so they cook evenly, and add them late to avoid overcooking.
Why do the noodles get mushy in Lentil Noodle Soup?
The noodles usually get mushy because they were cooked too long or kept sitting in hot broth. Cook them just until tender, or store cooked noodles separately and add them to each bowl when serving.
Can you make Lentil Noodle Soup with canned lentils?
Yes, canned lentils can be used in Lentil Noodle Soup; drain and rinse them, then add them near the end because they are already cooked. Simmer just long enough to heat them before cooking the noodles.
How do you thicken Lentil Noodle Soup?
To thicken Lentil Noodle Soup, mash some of the cooked lentils against the side of the pot or blend a small portion and stir it back in. The noodles also release starch as they cook, thickening the broth.
What can you serve with Lentil Noodle Soup?
Serve Lentil Noodle Soup with crusty bread, a crisp salad, or a squeeze of lemon. The lemon brightens the earthy lentils, while bread makes the meal more substantial.
How long does Lentil Noodle Soup last in the fridge?
Lentil Noodle Soup keeps in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Cool and refrigerate it promptly; the noodles will absorb broth, so loosen the soup with water or stock when reheating.
Can you freeze Lentil Noodle Soup?
Yes, but the noodles may become soft after thawing. For better texture, freeze the lentil soup before adding noodles, then cook fresh noodles and stir them in after thawing and reheating.
