Description

Easy to cook and yummy lentil soup recipe, a very nutritive and healthy Spanish dish ideal for vegetarians.

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces, weight Lentils
  • 5 cloves Garlic
  • 1 whole Onion
  • 1 whole Carrot
  • 1 whole Tomato
  • ½  Green Pepper
  • 1 bunch Fresh Parsley
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 leaves Bay
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 cups Water, Plus More For Soaking Lentils

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, pour over enough cold water to cover lentils and set aside overnight to soak.

2. Drain and rinse lentils, remove discolored ones.

3. Peel cloves of garlic, onion and carrot.
