I love lentils especially the red ones cause they cook so quickly and have a great taste. And they are a great source of vitamin Bs and fiber.

Cooking and eating are interwoven with my life experiences and memories. Although I do not have a collection of cookbooks in my kitchen, I do have a collection of vivid memories from childhood, from travelling, from work, and of the people I’ve met or grew up with. My memories are always combined with and connected to those of certain dishes.I love to tell stories and to cook; in fact, there is a unique connection at a very basic, universal level between the recipes and the stories; between receiving and giving, between biology and psychology. I learned or remembered the tastes of most of the dishes I create by remembering their aromas.My recipes are predominantly Middle Eastern in origin, with others from Latin America and North America, Asia and Africa. In almost all I’ve altered the ingredients somewhat from the traditional recipes to reflect the flavors that have evolved in my version of these dishes over the yearsThis Lebanese soup is a meal in itself if served with bread. It’s a great winter dish as it is very hearty and incredibly healthy. It is also very easy to make.This recipe is taken from my book "Scents of Memory: A Delicious Fusion of Stories and Healthy, Affordable Recipes from Around the World." Please check it out on Amazon

This is the first time I made this soup, and after one taste, I knew I had to share the recipe! Even my six-year-old liked it! 🤩I like my lentil soup thick and hearty, so the consistency I aim for is like a thin hummus. If you like a more watery soup, add more chicken broth or water. As with all soups, there is a lot of room for modification. If you like spice, chili powder, ginger, or cayenne pepper will amp it up nicely. If you want to make it vegan, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. However, this version as written is perfectly delicious.

I didn't like lentils of any kind, until I learned how to make this soup that is delicious and by far my family's favourite.

I have always loved lentil soup but always get it in the can. Finally I decided that it was time to make it the way I have always had it. And this recipe is exactly how I like it!

So easy to make and absolutely delicious!
