While not required, pre-soaking for 2-4 hours (or overnight) can decrease the cooking time to as little as 20-30 minutes

Combine the rinsed lentils and water/broth in a large saucepan. (Avoid adding salt or acidic ingredients like vinegar or tomatoes at this stage, as it can prevent the lentils from softening
Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 30-45 minutes or until desired tenderness
