Lentil Soup

 Lentil Soup



Hi everyone, today I will represent to you Lentil Soup, the first recipe for dishes that are related to Ramadan

Sorry for being late 😞but the first days of Ramadan were tough... especially since this is my first Ramadan during work in a full-time job.


Lentil Soup is one of the essential Ramadan dishes, it is one of my favorites, to be honest, so my mom has to do it like every day, it is considered a side dish but it has to be on the table

Let me explain a little bit more why it's important when we break our fast we break it by eating date and soup and drinking some water, after that, we start with the mine meal, so that’s why.

Without further ado let's hit the recipe

Ingredients:

1.  2 bouillon cubes (you don’t need them if you have chicken stock)

2. 3 medium-sized zucchinis

3. 2 medium-sized carrots

4. One medium size onion

5. A cup and a half of red lentils

6.  6 cups of water or chicken stock

7.  2 tablespoons of Olive oil

8.  A quarter teaspoon of cumin

9.  A teaspoon of salt

10.  Lemmon (VIP)

11.   parsley 

How to make it:

1. Cut the onion into small pieces, In a stockpot, add olive oil, turn the heat to low medium, then add the onions, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden

2. While waiting, peel up the carrot and zucchini then cut them into medium pieces.

3. Cheek on the onions, if it soft and golden add the carrot and zucchini, and stir for 2 min then add 2 cups of water and one bouillon cube (you can use chicken stock instead of water and bouillon cubes), and let it simmer on medium heat until they are soft (keep your eye on the water level) when they finish, we are going to then let them cool dawn so we can put the veg in a blender and blend them with lentils for a creamy texture  

4.  Rains the red lentils, in another stockpot, add the red lentils, 4 cups of water, one bouillon cube, and A quarter teaspoon of cumin, let it simmer on medium heat until they are soft, from 20-30 min (if there are any white foam forms, remove it), and once it done we let them cool dawn, and put in the blender with the vegetable and blend them together.

5. Then let them simmer for 10 min.

6.   You can serve it with parsley and a large squeeze of Lemmon (the more the better), Enjoy !!!
