I feel in my bones that there are only days to white winter with snow and cold. So I’ll need a big amount of warming up. It’s possible in many ways of course ;) One of favourite (beside warm blanket!) is delicious and very warm lentil and tomato soup. Be careful with lentil amount if you want to modify the recipe. I have bad experience with something which looked like gruel, not soup ;)

Ingredientes:

1 parsley

1 carrot

1/2 onion

1 clove of garlic

black pepper

1 bay leaf

2 pimientos

¾ glass of red lentil

lemon juice

½ can of tomotoes

1 spoon of marjoram

1 spoon of oil

Preparing:

1. Dice parsley, carrot and onion. Crash garlic and cut it into small pieces.

2. Heat oil, add onion and Garlic – till being fired.

3. Add bay leaf, pimientos, pepper and lentil.
If you are fun of salt: you can add it and as well a drop of soya sauce.

4. Mix, add a drop of lemon juice, marjoram and 1 litre of boiled water.

5. Add cut vegetables and boil them till they are soft.

6. Add tomatoes and marjoram once again. Optionally you can add 2 teaspoons of butter.

7. If you like cream soups you can blend it and voila!

I recommend you this soup with all my heart – for me it’s a number one. Or maybe just behind the tomato soup :)
