  • Lentil soup is a classic vegetarian soup recipe. It's hearty, healthy, delightfully filling (with plant-based protein), and warming on those cold, wintery days. While there are many variations of lentil soup, you can't go wrong with a simple, Mediterranean version.
    I always love an easy, one-pot soup recipe like this as it's easy to meal prep and reheat. It's perfect for lunch or dinner and it's naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free, making it perfect for almost all your guests!

    Lentil soup is the only food I could eat while I was getting chemotherapy. Your tastebuds change drastically and everything tastes very odd but this soup was an actual life saver for me. I'm cancer free now and still completely love my lentil soup. 😁

      @Pamela Laura this is good to hear because I am just starting chemotherapy and this has been my experience but I know I need to eat so I just purchased some French green lentils in order to get fluids, protein and veggies. Did you know that French green (also Puy) lentils have twice as much protein as any other lentil? It’s a win win. Thank you for sharing your results. I had to come back here to get a refresher on the recipe

    This is how I’ve always cooked my lentil soup as I have learned it from my mother the only difference is when I sauté the veggies I chop and put the kale with them to give it a bit of flavor and make it softer to eat. It’s super good. 🤗

    OMG ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this was absolutely delicious and soo flavorful! I've never made lentil soup before nor have I ever had any but this recipe exceeded my expectations 😋 I followed the recipe exactly, then added a few dashes of cayenne pepper, and simmered the kale in the soup for about 5 minutes to make it tender - the only little tip I would give is cut the kale into small pieces instead of long strips so it wont slide off ur spoon 🙃

    Three suggestions for onion sensitivity, the first is rinse the peeled onion under cold water, the second is dice the onion where a fan will quickly remove the fumes whether that a fan on a range hood or otherwise. The final is to entirely keep the fumes away from your eyes with protective goggles. Finally put the onions in a pot with a lid. Any combination of these methods does help.

You can simply get the recipe from many sites in the net. Yet as u asked this is one of my variations of the recipe.. it's really versatile.. even I play around the variety of lentils, vegetables and spices all the time. I couldn't be happier to share the recipe for Sambar ❤️
      Sambar recipe:
      INGREDIENTS:
      Tuvar dal (Yellow split Pigeon peas)- 1/2 cup
      Any vegetable or veggie mix - 1½ to 2 cups
      Onion - 1, medium
      Tomato - 1, medium
      Curry leaves - A sprig (to be added at the end)
      Tamarind paste - 1 tbsp mixed in 1 cup of water, OR
      Tamarind water - 1 cup
      Sambar powder - 4 tsp (levelled)
      Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
      Salt - As per taste
      To temper:
      Any Oil - 2 tsp
      Dry red chilly - 1 (optional)
      Mustard seeds - 3/4 tsp
      Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 tsp
      Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp
      Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
      Curry leaves - A sprig
      METHOD
      Pressure cook tuvar dal with turmeric and few drops of oil and slightly mash it.
      Slice onion, tomato and the vegetables length wise.
      Heat a pot and temper with the items under ‘To temper’ in the order given.
      Saute onion till transparent.
      Add tomatoes and fry till soft.
      Add the veggies and give it a mix. Add half of the salt.
      Add 2 cups of water and cook for 10 minutes. (This really depends upon the type of the veggies u choose to cook for sambar, cook accordingly)
      Add tamarind juice, remaining salt, sambar powder and cook for 10 minutes just until the raw smell of tamarind goes.
      Add cooked dal by diluting it with ½ to 1 cup water. Adjust the consistency as per your preference.
      Boil for just 5 minutes and switch off.
      (It will slightly thicken when cools, so switch off accordingly.)
      Garnish with torn curry leaves and coriander leaves and close the vessel with lid.
      Flavorful sambar is ready, serve it with rice/idli/dosa.

    For chopping onions, have a floor stand fan just behind your left or right shoulder and aimed so it blows the onion smell away from you, ideally towards a door or open window. Since I started doing this, no more watery eyes. Makes a huge difference when I'm chopping pots of onions for canning onion soup.

I also add larger, pumpkin chunks to any bean casserole. The pumpkin melts down and blends in well to the bean casserole...esp if adding pork or pig's feet! (Yeah, I'm Portuguese)!
