Easy Red Lentil Soup Recipe

This Easy Red Lentil Soup Recipe is the first dish that I prefer to cook often in the cold season.

Furthermore, lentils are one of the legumes that should consume by everyone in the family, including young babies, once they start solid foods.

Also, this soup is easy to prepare. And, since red lentils are smaller in grain, we can blend them for a creamy soup or leave them in grains.

I grind the other vegetables added to the soup with a portion of the lentils, leaving the other lentils such they are.

Also, you can try our lentil pasta soup.

Ingredients

• 250 g red lentils
• 1 onion
• 2 carrots
• 1 potato
• 1 Cerely stick
• fresh rosemary
• bay leaves
• one garlic clove (facultative)
• salt, pepper, olive oil
• chicken broth, or vegetable broth, or water
• 1 well ripen peeled tomato or one tbsp of tomato sauce

Directions

• First, we will wash the lentils well and put them in a pot along with all the other vegetables.
  Of course, we have washed, cleaned, and cut all the other vegetables into medium pieces.
• Then, cover lentils and vegetables with water or chicken or meat broth and simmer for 20-25 minutes. I left lentils overnight in the water, and these lentils boiled quickly.
• Once the time is up, we will blend the diced and cooked vegetables. You can blend the lentils, too for a creamy soup.
• Then, add the blended mixture to the lentils pot and arrange them with salt, pepper, and chicken stock. Also, season it with olive oil.
• Finally, serve the soup warm. Whoever wants can also add lemon juice to the plate or red pepper.

Bon Appetit!
