Mexican Lentil Soup (Sopa de Lentejas) is a vegetarian soup that's quick and easy to make. This Mexican lentil soup recipe to make with green lentils, Ortega chilis, onion, garlic, vegetables and it's perfectly seasoned with cumin and oregano. I love to garnish this Sopa de Lentejas with a few nachos, avocado and fresh cilantro.
