Directions
Shorbet Ads (Lentil Soup), A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe Her mother made this for their family while she was growing up Amazing soup with a surprisingly meaty texture and beautiful color Wow! Even cooler? The variations she suggested I’ve tried the Baghdadi variation – and I can’t imagine the other ones being anything less than marvelous This is THE lentil soup recipe use now , This was a very good soup! I had planned to give only 4 stars becauseit was too bland for my taste but treated it with some Indian spices and all was well So why did I still give 5 stars? because the recipe was very good as it stands and the need for the spices is a personal one Since I rarely use salt anymore, extra spices are needed to bring up my taste buds I added curry powder, coriander, minced fresh garlic, and mustard seeds I did caramelize a large white onion for 3 hours until almost melted, stirred in the extra spices along with 1/2 tsp lemon zest I also used my own vegetable stock Really great supper thanks to you, Jen!, A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe Her mother made this for their family while she was growing up Amazing soup with a surprisingly meaty texture and beautiful color Wow!
