Ingredients
- 1 cup dried green or brown lentils, rinsed
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, diced

Instructions

- Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until well combined. Add the cooked lentils and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
