Soup is the dish that makes cold days warm with just one bowl. There is a fact that we must accept without getting into polemics. Among the soups, we like lentils the most. Our eyes search for it at the beginning of every meal. It prepares our stomach for the food we will eat. It makes our bodies, which are in a cold state, warm at the same time.

In this way, we revealed more flavors and shortened the cooking time slightly. If you wish, you can drizzle a wonderful sauce on it, or eat it plain. All kinds of yummy.
