Lentil Soup

A protein-rich dish with a light lemony note! My husband recently gave me a book about making all sorts of soups, and of course I immediately dove into experimenting. The first dish I made from the book was this lentil soup — and honestly, it turned out very, very tasty. Now I'll share how to make it.

  • So, we start by sorting through the lentils and rinsing them well. Now peel the onion and garlic, wash them, and chop finely. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the onion and garlic until golden. Then add the tomato paste and the prepared broth, bring everything to a boil, and pour in the lentils. Simmer over low heat for 50–55 minutes. Meanwhile, in a hot skillet, fry the bread cubes in oil until golden. Then season the lentil soup with salt, caraway, and pepper, and serve it with the croutons on the side.
