Lentil Soup

Updated: Feb 15

  • Indian healthy dietary lentil soup, wonderful aromatic taste. It is prepared very easily and simply. If you don't use canned lentils, you will need a longer time for this soup. I recommend that you leave them to stand for 2–3 hours in water until they swell, strain them and cook them for about 20 minutes, in another water, before adding them into the ingredients. Depending on the preparation of different lenses, see here for proper preparation. Follow recipe.
