Georgian Vegetarian Lentil Soup

Original, simple and very tasty! The man will be crazy! Georgian cuisine is not rich in vegetarian dishes, but even for those who refuse meat, there are many culinary recipes in it. A special place among them is occupied by Georgian vegetarian lentil soup, usually served before the second of crushed potatoes with carrot cutlets. I came across it in a collection of summer recipes and now I cook periodically when I want something light, but at the same time quite satisfying.

I sort, wash and soak the lentils in cold water for a few hours. Then I put it in a saucepan, fill it with water and cook, periodically removing the foam. I cut the potatoes into half rings of medium thickness and add them to the lentil brew during cooking. I fry the onion in olive oil with tomato pulp, put it in the soup and continue to cook. Readiness is checked for potatoes and lentils. When the Georgian vegetarian lentil soup is almost cooked, I salt and season with ground pepper, sometimes black, sometimes red, and sometimes with a purchased mixture, it depends on the mood: sometimes I want something hot and burning, and sometimes I prefer a milder taste of food, sometimes I want to taste allspice. For such an occasion, I always keep a small jar with this excellent seasoning.
