So simple, nourishing and tasty!
Delicious!
Quick, healthy and delicious. I used red lentils which I just rinsed and the soup turned out beautifully. The olive oil and lemon juice were a great addition
I added the lentils in step 5; assuming they need cooking. I managed to forget the EVOO at the end, but found it extremely tasty regardless. It has a full but not overpowering flavour, and enough body to serve as a mains or a starter. This is going into my favourites list.
When do I add the lentils?
