Directions
I’d say that soups are a base of my family’s nutrition. Everyone loves them, we always eat them for lunch or dinner, and there’s always fresh soup in the fridge. Whatever soups I make, our favorites are lentil, buckwheat, and rice soups. This time, lentil soup was especially delicious and vibrant, and the nice weather contributed to taking a great picture!
So, today’s recipe is the favorite family red lentil soup. It’s super easy to make, and I thought it’s definitely worth posting!
Enjoy!

After a while, the soup will get thick, the lentils will be completely cooked through and even get mushy. Which is exactly what we need this soup to be! |
