Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Lentils are rich in protein, fiber, iron and folic acid. They are also low in calories and fat.
  • tip 2
    Got leftovers? Since lentils continue to absorb liquid, you may have to add a little more chicken broth to the soup when you reheat it. Just stir in broth until the soup is the desired consistency.
