For a thicker soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, potatoes, or spinach. A bay leaf added during cooking can enhance the flavor; remove it before serving. If you don't have a pressure cooker, this soup can be made in a large pot on the stovetop. Simmer for about 45-60 minutes, or until the lentils and peas are tender.
