Lentils, The Delicious Humble Soup

in #hive-1205863 years ago

My family eats Lentils soup regularly, we love it! It's a satisfying soup full of nutrients. There are different types of lentils such as brown, green, white and yellow. Our family's favourite is the yellow lentils. They may differ in colour but they do have a similar taste, texture and even nutrient content. It’s a delicious soup that is so simple and easy to prepare. Just bring lentils to boil, simmer and incorporate any vegetables you like, examples are sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant, carrots, moringa etc.

Moringa leaves is a superfood.

For more additional flavour, you may use rice water instead of water. You can also add Pandan leaves while cooking or topped with fresh coriander leaves or toasted garlic.
