Potato and lentil soup

It turns out very quickly and gently. Perhaps many people like soups with lentils because they cook quickly and have a nice warm color. We have this bean crop called Turkish lentils, and it is prepared in 5 or 7 minutes. I think it will be interesting for everyone to try a dish with these beans at least once, especially for those who like fast dishes. And if you also bake croutons on sticks in the oven, greased with garlic-cheese homemade mayonnaise, then this will turn out to be quite a noble and nutritious menu.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min

If you don't have much time, or just want a simple liquid meal, but so that it's fast and tasteful, then stock up on 40 minutes and get started:

1. You will need a saucepan and a frying pan. And pre-peeled and washed vegetables. Cut the potatoes into cubes of 1 cm or a little more, and put them to boil in 2 liters of water, add a little salt.

2. Cut the onion into small cubes and put it in a preheat oil in a frying pan and lightly fry.

3. Finely chop the carrots, you can use a large grater. It looks beautiful and red and yellow, and send it to the onion, followed by crushed garlic.

4. Cut the tomato into cubes, it does not need to be fried, we will throw it together with the lentils.

5. Now we put the roast in a saucepan, and pour a little oil into the pan, immediately add turmeric, paprika and lentils, and begin to fry over medium heat. The lentils should become transparent, as it were.

6. And now you can put it in a saucepan and add tomatoes, season with your spices and cook for 5-7 minutes. The lentils will be immediately visible.

This soup will become even tastier if it is flavored with a spoonful of homemade cheese mayonnaise, crumble greens, and instead of the usual bread, bake croutons, which are also coated with mayonnaise with garlic (quite a bit, so that there is no sharp smell).

PS If anyone is interested, then you can come up with a device for croutons, which consists of a metal mug, crumpled foil, and unnecessary knitting needles. Cooking this soup gave me this idea. Croutons are tastier than in a frying pan and they can be served with any soup.
