Aside from the above, red lentils can easily be added into blended soups for an extra protein, fibre, and texture boost.
We also really like red lentil “tofu” in this house. You just soak and blend red lentils, cool similar to polenta, then let solidify, and use like tofu. It’s delicious.

It’s very comforting and gentle on the stomach/body if you want a healthy, simple meal. I use it as a reset meal after a period of eating out too much.
Is it gentle on the stomach for someone who eats beans/legumes regularly or for everyone? I don't think it would be necessarily gentle on the stomach for an occasional eater--it's certainly not the bland diet recommended in general.
Uh, you’re going to use your own common sense on that one. It’s gentle on my stomach and on the stomachs of everyone I’ve served it to, and it’s a common comfort food for sick kids in Indian culture. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend it for someone with a legume sensitivity. Which I would assume you don’t have if you’re participating in a thread about red lentils.

There's a red lentil soup in the NYT top 50 list that came out recently. I bookmarked it to try because it looks pretty simple to make and aside from the lentils it's all ingredients I have on hand.
Here's a gift link:

Saw a bunch of shoppers buying this while shopping recently. How is it? How do you cook it - mix it with other types, or add anything to it other than salt?
