I just made lentil soup...

...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

Whatever vinegar you like! I had dark balsamic vinegar, but my grandma even puts leftover sauerkraut in if she has some. It's all about the acidity

I have lentil soup for lunch most days at work. I use carrots leeks sweet potato or butternut squash and red lentils boil them up with some stock and blend. I put them in little pots like you've done and freeze them and take one in each day and defrost in the microwave it's absolutely delicious.

Ooh, that recipe sounds lovely! I've been thinking about making more soup recently, so I'm going to give it a go!

Op, bacon addition is making my mouth water.

To extend it further, I add a tin of drained chick peas or haricot beans (or both if a lot of people to feed) right at the end, and just warm through. Still freezes perfectly.

Ooh I love lentil soup. My most recent one was green lentil and spinach with various spices. Looks like swamp water but tastes lovely

This is my current favourite lentil soup recipe. Lentil chilli and chickpea, it’s so good 😋

I bloody love lentils and this recipe is amaaaazing. The lemon juice takes it to another level. www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1567674/middle-eastern-lentil-soup-

My latest lentil soup recipe is - red lentils, onion, carrots and sweet potato, flavoured with garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and coriander. Served with wholemeal bread, such a cheap filling and nutritious meal.

Looks lovely. Can babies have lentils. Weaning DD soon and just wondering.

Yes they can, Snipples.

My go to lentil soup is a carrot and red lentil one with some grated lemon zest in it, finished off with some lemon juice stirred through at the end.

Make it Turkish and add mint and chilli. Then a squeeze of lemon when you eat it

Also you can add chilli, garlic, cumin, lemongrass, fresh ginger, corriander, lime juice and coconut milk to make it Thai flavour - yummy!

Vinegar you say? Hmmmm. I always out it on pasta sauce.

Top tip

Buy your lentils at the foreign food section of the supermarket where they’ll be about two-thirds of the price of the lentils next to the split peas and soup mix.

Yes, vinegar!
I love the recipes, will have to try them all! I order my lentils online from a small collective, they are lovely

I put chorizo in mine, makes it delicious.

I once had to make a meal for someone with 15 minutes notice. I started to defrost some cooked red lentils. As they walked in I was adding grated carrot and wondering what else to add. They dipped in a spoon and tasted it before I could stop them and declared it delicious! I tried it and they were right. We ate it 5 mins later with the carrots just cooked.
They also asked what spices i had used
Red lentils are little energy bombs packed with flavour!

If you use jars of jalapenos, the liquid - which is basically spicey vinegar liquid - is great in soups and sauces.

This is really yummy, cheap-ish and filling if you like dhal, which is basically lentil curry, so a bit stiffer than soup.

You have to scroll down a bit.

You have all inspired me, I’m going to make lentil soup tomorrow for the first time! I can pick up some lentils. I might add in some kabanos for flavour.

These are all great ideas, especially about the carrots since I have a bunch to use up. I’m putting lentil soup on the meal plan this week and will freeze some.

Home Bargains sell split red lentils for half the price they are in the supermarkets BTW
