This is one of my favorite soups! So simple, yet so thick and satisfying. I serve it on chilly evenings with fresh thick-crusted bread and a light leafy salad. One large bowl and you'll be happy and full!

Sunday -clean out your cupboard and make fresh soup - day.This time I found inspiration in Scandinavia.

Recently moved and had literally nothing on hand but basic celery, carrots, onions, and my spices. Bought a bag of lentils and had lunch/dinner for a week. So good I didn't even mind I was eating soup in 80 degree weather.. 😊

So easy to make and absolutely delicious!

#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

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.

No big story just love some good lentil soup and like things to be as easy as possible.

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 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.

Started with Alton Browns' recipe then simplified for speed and to use what i had. Onions, carrots, pepers, celery are great to have on hand frozen for these kinds of soups!
