RED LENTIL SOUP

 


Ingredients
1/2 glass of red lentils
A medium sized potato
A small sized carrot
A medium sized onion
2 spoons of olive oil
Black pepper

Salt

Dry mint

Method 

Wash the red lentils, chop the potato, carrots and onion in very small cubes, and put in a saucepan. Add 5 glasses of warm water and bring to the boil over a medium heat. When it comes to the boil, simmer over a low heat until the lentils are soft and mushy. Check the water level regularly and if necesarry add some more hot water. It takes about 30-40 minutes to cook. Then add salt, black peper, dry mint and oil and keep simmering for a few minutes more.

Then mix in a blender to mash the potatos and carrots. Take care as it hot. Your lentil soup is ready to eat. I recommend squeezing some lemon in when you eat.

BON APPETITE!
