Directions
Nile River Lentil Soup, A very tasty vegetable soup from Egypt I just hope that they aren’t actually making soup with water from the Nile, lol , This was quick, easy and tasty I added some things to boost the nutrients: a bell pepper, a carrot, a jalapeno, turmeric and a cup of cooked chickpeas Oh and a bay leaf I made the whole thing in my instant pot, which saved time Started with the saute setting then cooked on high pressure for 20 minutes , I have made my share of different lentil soups, but this is definitely up at the top of them all Just loved the flavours, do not skimp on the spices, they really make the soup
