Spring Cleaning Spiced Lentil Soup

This is my friend Ali's recipe she once made for me. I enjoyed it so much I had to get the recipe

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.

Delicious and easy to do. It makes a huge portion so it's excellent for big groups. On thing, depending on taste you might not want to add the entire bag of lentils if you like to have more stock on your soup.

During Ramadan, whether it happens to be summer or winter, this yellow lentil soup always makes an appearance. So hearty and satisfying, it makes the perfect starter after a long day of fasting. Lentil soups are a staple in the Middle-East and this one is no exception. #soupcontest

Twas the night before payday, and all through the kitchen, not a meal was in sight, not even leftovers.So I pulled this together with odds and ends. It was way better than I expected. You could probably sub in any veggies you have laying around, or any starch (rice or barley or pasta) instead of lentils and potatoes. That's what's so awesome about soup.Note that I only had about a quarter cup of lentils to use and most of those sunk to the bottom. I'd have used a full cup if I had it, your soup will have more lentils than the picture shows.

Lentils have high nutritional value,it is believed that turmeric helps to combat things like jaundice and helps liver function.It has anti inflammatory properties it helps with rheumatism and arthritis. I want to keep this at bay .I love this soup.Try it and see what you think.

This the recipe I made it with all the ingredients but there are two ingredients I forgot to add please add your self these are LOVE and AFFECTION quantity depends upon your taste. More you put more you get.

Lentils and ginger are so good for your gut and digestive system. This recipe is one of my favorites and has key ingredients to help you eat pretty.

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.

This is a recipe that was shared by a co-worker. It is her mom's recipe. I have modified some of the proportions. It is a bit spicy, so if you prefer, you can reduce the crushed red chilies to 1/2 tsp.

#AskenDietEven if you are not a vegetarian, it may not be a bad idea to have occasional meatless nights.Lentils are a good source of not only plant-protein, but also complex carbohydrate, thiamine, iron, and other nutrients. #AskenDiet

This tasty dish is packed with fiber and protein.Notes:If you prefer a thicker consistency you can reduce the vegetable broth ration by 1-2 cups.I used 4 cups of vegetable broth and 2 of water.Remember to remove the bay leaves before serving
