Red Lentil Soup

I love lentils especially the red ones cause they cook so quickly and have a great taste. And they are a great source of vitamin Bs and fiber.

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 servings

Cooking time :

30 mins

1/2 cup

red lentils

2 tbsp

oil (I use olive oil)

1 dash

hot red pepper flakes

medium carrots, chopped

large onion, chopped

1 tbsp

fresh lemon juice

2 tsp

paprika

1/4 cup

tomato pure (or 1 tbsp tomato paste)

4 cup

stock (or water)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Using a strainer place the lentils through running water until it runs clear.

* Step 2

In a medium cooking pan, heat the oil with the red pepper flakes. Add the onions and let them sweat for 5 minutes.

* Step 3

Next add the chopped carrots. Let them cook for another 5 mins. Next add the paprika and freshly cracked pepper. Stir a few times, then add the lemon juice.

* Step 4

Once the lemon juice has been absorbed (It'll take just a few seconds.), add the tomate pure or paste. Add salt. Next, throw in the lentils and the stock or water.
