momee Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have brown rice to serve with it...should I just leave it runny and top the rice with it OR should I add more lentils OR not worry about it :) OR add rice TO the soup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If you add the rice to the soup, it will absorb some of the liquid, as well as give more "substance." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 How important are aesthetics? If you add rice to the soup, it will look like sludge even thought it will taste fine. If you serve it over rice (in a soup bowl!) it will taste fine without looking like sludge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like lentils better when they have broken down and turned into sludge (even verging on paste), so I am not a good person to ask about aesthetics, I guess... Serving it over rice would probably be good, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Just serve over the rice. Yummo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I would probably blend it before serving it over the rice. I've heard of using potato flakes to thicken soup but haven't tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatechip Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'd just serve it over rice. I'm a texture person, though: ambiguous grey-brown mixes aren't exactly my thing. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xixstar Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I spoon wet lentils over rice. Still seems more like soup but it is what happen when I foolishly try to shave a few minutes off with the pressure cooker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
