Lentil soup
I know, I know, lentils sound like a very boring dish, but I can promise you this version is delicious, easy and warm. It is like a hug in a rainy day! 🙂
Ingredients for 3 people:
- Carrot, 1
- Celery, 2 sticks
- White onion, 1
- Red Lentils, 150g
- Water, 750 ml
- Bouillon Powder, 2 tablespoons
- Salt if needed
- Olive oil
- Paprika as you like
Recipe:
- Peel the carrot and chop it in pieces, you don’t have to be too tidy
- Cut the celery very roughly
- Cut the onion very roughly
- Put the vegetables in a pan
- Add water
- When the water is boiling, add the bouillon powder
- After 10 minutes or when the carrot is soft, take the vegetables out of the water – LEAVE THE WATER IN THE PAN
- Put the vegetables in a blender and mash them
- Once they are creamy, put them back in the pan that still contains the water and and bouillon power
- Now you can do 2 things: either you add the lentils in the pan or you cook them separately (I use this option so I am going to tell you what I do)
- Put the lentils in another pan containing water only
- When the the water boils reduce the heat and leave the lentils to boil until tender
- Once they are cooked, add them to the mixture of carrots, celery and onions
- Add the paprika
- Add some olive oil and stir everything for 2-3 minutes
- Add salt if needed
Love it!!!
