Red lentils are rich in nutrients and have anti-cancer effects, so they are suitable for regular use. But it is not a common ingredient in Chinese cuisine, so few people care about it. Today I will introduce a thick red lentil soup. This soup is called the Turkish national soup because of its high nutritional value, because of its super simple method, and because of its deliciousness. If you don’t believe it, try it, you will fall in love with it..."

Red Lentil Soup

1. Prepare the ingredients. The red lentils are watered several times until they are washed

2. Onion diced

3. Carrot slices

4. Potatoes cut into small pieces

5. Pour the salad oil into a saucepan and heat up, pour in the onions and stir fry. Add flour and sauté until fragrant

6. Add carrots and potatoes and stir fry

7. Add red lentils

8. Add broth and hot water

9. Add salt and pepper, cover on high heat until water boils, turn to medium and low heat and cook for 30 minutes

10. Check that the lentils are boiled and the carrots are soft and turn off the heat. Use a blender to make a smooth thick soup

11. Add a little spicy oil, lemon juice or grape vinegar when eating. Chili oil method: heat a tablespoon of butter and add a tablespoon of red chili powder, stir fry and serve.

Tips:
The concentration of the soup is based on personal taste. If you like it, you can add up to 4 1/2 cups of water. Too little water and too thick will affect the taste, but you must add enough water at one time, and then dilute it after cooking and whipping will also affect the taste. You can use chicken essence instead of broth. Adding or not adding spicy oil, lemon juice or grape vinegar when eating depends on personal taste. My habit is to add only spicy oil.
