Here is a simple soup to make, that is both delicious and good for you. Lentils are a great ingredient, and they are great to use in many different dishes, including soups, salads, and side dishes.
I already wrote about lentils in the How To Cook Lentils: Lentils With Onions, Garlic, Tomatoes, Cumin, Coriander, Turmeric post. The lentils with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spices is a great recipe for a side dish made with lentils.
This Lentil Soup Recipe is another great lentil dish. Lentils are delicious, and adding them to soup makes a vegetable soup even tastier. Or, if you are looking for a lentil soup recipe with meat, you can add some ham to this soup.
In this lentil soup recipe I am using carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, dill and lentils. There aren’t too many ingredients, and it is not hard to make this soup.
To start making the soup, chop onions, carrots and celery. Cook the lentils. Saute onions, carrots and celery for a few minutes. Add water and bring to boil. Reduce the heat, add cooked lentils and potatoes and cook until potatoes are done. Once the soup is done, add some dill to it.
Serve this soup with some crusty bread.
