Healthy and simple recipe perfect for the cold weather 🍲

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.

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.. 😊

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.

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

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

This soup is so nice on a cold day ...its full of flavor enjoy !

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.

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

Sometimes, simple is best, especially when it’s a cold day and you’re nostalgic for a warming winter soup just like mom used to make. My mom doesn’t like to spend a lot of time cooking, so her recipes tend to be simple, quick, and easy. This is one of them. But just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious! 😋Note: While the recipe isn’t vegetarian as written, it can easily be converted to a vegetarian recipe by using vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock.#Healthy #Winter #Vegetables #KeepRecipesAlive

When I lived in Sweden, this is the soup my host father would make often for their weekly vegetarian dinner. Together with some bread, it makes a perfect meal for a cold winter day. I can still recall the image of my host father in the kitchen in front of the simmering pot.You don't have to reconstitute lentils in water before cooking them, but I added Step 1 in order to reduce the cooking time. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Usagi no Cima

When I was in Turkey, you could get this soup anywhere – to the point where you would get sick of it! But now that I'm back in Japan, I miss it. I made several attempts until I settled on this.Adjust the ingredients, thickness, and amount of salt to taste. The way every person likes this soup is different - just like how people in Japan like their miso soup prepared in different ways! (Adding about 1 tablespoon of tomato paste after sautéing the onions is also delicious.) Also, you can omit using a blender in Step 5, and enjoy the rough texture. It's easy! Recipe by Merike
