How to make this lentil soup recipe
As the goal of most
recipes, I make for a handful of yum, this stew pot lentil soup is made for
real life. Because it's really for my real life.
We start with a solid
foundation: onions, garlic, carrots, celery, spices, salt, and broth.
Then we became great by
adding walnut pumpkin, which partially melted into a creamy texture of
miracles, lentils (always lentils), and yellow peas, because of the wow color.
After all your feel-good
vegetables stewed into the best house smell, then we did a magical thing and
put it on top: using olive oil to stir a part of the soup into a puree to form
a silky lotion, and then add it back to the soup. Yes plz 4evr.
I ended up drinking a
little sherry and red wine vinegar because I was eating some strong food right
now.
