I just made lentil soup...

[OchSchnubbel]

...and I am so proud!
I won't send a picture because lentil soup isn't the most aesthetically pleasing dish, but it's so yummy!
Just wanted to share this with someone.
I'll even give you the recipe if you want it.
That's all, thanks for reading

I love lentil soup. I put chillies in mine

I'd like the recipe!

Mine is always very bland unless I make it with a ham hock and they're quite hard to get ahold of round here.

Oh, that sounds interesting!
My recipe is a traditional (kind of) German recipe, so no chillies (yet)

Ooh I’d like the recipe too!

I made a big batch yesterday, we love lentil soup.

I was not impressed with mine. Lentils, carrot, cumin and corriander powder... Was bored of it about half way through.

Okay so here's the recipe:
450 g lentils (I used red lentils because they don't need as long)
2-3 Carrots
1 big onion
2-3 potatoes
150 g bacon cubes (optional)
majoram
thyme
veggie stock
vinegar

Peel your veggies and cut them in cubes, dice the onion.
Wash the lentils. Then fry the onion, add the bacon if you are using it and then add the lentils.
Fill up with the stock, add the other vegetables and cook until everything is tender.
In the end season with vinegar, majoram, thyme and some salt and pepper is necessary.

I would also love to hear all your recipes, we love lentils!

Oh and if you want you can add sliced hot dogs to your portion of the soup too ;)

I don't have a recipe, I just chuck in a bit of this and that.

This is my photo which is the extra for the freezer.

I put spinach in mine.

That looks absolutely amazing! Never tried freezing lentil soup, does it freeze well?

I bought red lentils for the first time last week after enjoying daal at DD's. Thanks for the soup recipe OP.

I put garlic in mine, love the idea of spinach. Will try that next time.

Oh lentil soup is lovely! Well done you.

You're welcome! I feel so old being excited about something so trivial like lentil soup

Totally freezes fine. I make a massive vat of the stuff and freeze a it in week size portions.

Adding a bit of ginger too is so yummy.

I find green lentil soup a completely different Beast than the red lentils one.

Green is bacon, celery and di on, red goes with Asian flavours.

Both lovely.

I love carrot and lentil soup, one of my favorites. I am going through a bit of a soup frenzy at the moment, have batches of lentil and carrot, butternut squash and roasted tomato ready to freeze. Think we need a bigger freezer house 😁

I've grown an awful lot of chillies this year so they're going in everything

I was dreaming of having my dads homemade lentil soup today, I’m off to make some.

Vinegar? Like I put on my chips? Happy to give it a go but I’m a useless chef so please confirm if it’s just normal brown vinegar or something fancy!

Ooh! A bandwagon I can jump on. I make the BBC Good Food one with orange juice and cumin seeds with a glop of yoghurt in it and it is divine. Love a good lentil soup.

I make spiced carrot and lentil soup, it’s delicious, it’s basically carrots, lentils, cumin seeds and veg stock and a bit of milk. Heating the carrots takes a little while but it’s worth it www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2089/spiced-carrot-and-lentil-soup

(I miss out the oil as I don’t see any need for it.
