red lentils iv ran out will green ones do?

[mothersmilk]

i want to make bacon and red lentil soup but iv used all my red lentils iv got a bag of green ones will they work? i realise the colour may be off putting but its only for me and dh

They will be lovely - but won't go to mush like red ones do. They will keep their shape.

is there any thing you could suggest to thicken it up slightly?

Potatoes?

I find, if you cook them long enough they do go slightly mushy and are much much nicer than red lentils.

Maybe liquidise once cooked? Green lentils are yummy - take a little longer to cook though.
