Macaroni and Lentil Soup

My friend gave me lentils, so I used them in a soup.
There will be some liquid left when it's finished, but in the case that you let it simmer a long time and the macaroni absorbs the extra liquid, I think it would be best to continue heating it and add some water.
As for the lentils, there are two types; the type that needs to be soaked in water and the other type that just needs to be rinsed, so read the instructions on the packaging. Recipe by Akane

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the onion, carrot, and celery into 1 cm cubes. Finely chop the garlic. If you're using fresh tomatoes instead of canned, blanch and peel the tomatoes and then cut into 1 cm cubes.
- 2
Heat up olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery. Add the garlic. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the vegetables become tender.
- 3
Once the vegetables are tender, add the canned tomato with the juices. Cook until the moisture evaporates and the tomatoes become tender.
- 4
Add the lentils. Once everything has been covered in the sauce, add the bouillon, the thyme, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- 5
The lentils I used this time don't require being soaked in water, so I just rinsed and used them as is.
- 6
Once boiling, cover with a lid, lower the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. When the lentils have softened, add the macaroni and simmer for another 8 minutes.
- 7
Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- 8
Serve in a bowl and top with parmesan cheese and dribble on some olive oil if you would like.

This is the lightest way to make lentil soup. In the other method, you fry onions in ghee and pour them over the soup at the end, but that can cause heartburn. منال ثروت🥯🥐Translated from Cookpad Egypt -

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. jashy.aponte.7 -
