If you're serving this meal during a regular meal, you can serve it with a side of flatbread or whole wheat pita. During Ramadan, the lentil soup is traditionally on the iftar table accompanied by refreshing beverages. The best choices are drinks that will help to replenish the body, such as water, tea, juice, and fruit purées thickened with avocado. Additionally, you may want to serve it with some additional protein, such as hard-boiled eggs or cheese, and possibly some fresh fruit.
