Lentil soup

A protein-rich dish with a light lemon flavor! Recently, my husband gave me a book about cooking a variety of first courses. Of course, I immediately started experimenting. The first dish I cooked according to the recipe from this book was such food as lentil soup. To be honest, it turned out very, very tasty. And now I will share with you the way of cooking this soup.

So, we start by sorting through the lentils and washing them well. Now peel the onion and garlic, wash and chop finely. Then, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the onion and garlic on it until golden. Then add tomato paste and ready-made broth to them, bring the whole mass to a boil and then pour in the prepared lentils. Now we cook our mass over low heat for 50-55 minutes. Now, in a hot frying pan, fry the bread cubes in oil until golden. After that, add salt, cumin, pepper to the lentil soup and serve separately from the croutons.
