Körülbelül 1 p
6
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender and have broken down.
Körülbelül 25 p
A szakács megjegyzése: Stir occasionally to prevent lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
7
Remove the pot from the heat. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend directly in the pot until your desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, carefully transfer portions to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
Körülbelül 3 p
A szakács megjegyzése: If using a regular blender, vent the lid to allow steam to escape and avoid pressure buildup.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Körülbelül 1 p
9
Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
A szakács megjegyzése: A drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper can add a nice kick.
