My wife found an amazing recipe for a lentil soup a while back. She was working late today, so I cooked the soup while she drove home.
It’s pretty simple. Onions, garlic, peppers (I used a bell pepper) in oil. Add lentils, broth, chickpeas, and canned tomatoes. Season and simmer for 20 minutes.
It’s SO FLAVORFUL!
Usually with soups, there’s a mix of spices – and frequently, when I taste it, I say “Hmm, still needs something.”
This one gets a mere sprinkle of salt and pepper, and it’s great.
Apologies for the lack of photo; I didn’t think to take one while cooking. FauxPseudo’s post today made me think about sharing just now.
sounds great, I’ll try it! Which lentils though?
I used red lentils. The ones we have are pre split.
We’ve used green lentils before. I recall pre-soaking them at some point, but then we started getting the red lentils.
