LENTIL SOUP

The ancient recipe: Lentil Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry lentils
• 2 small leeks sliced
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 ½ tsp dry mint
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Olive Oil
• Red wine Vinegar

Boil on low heat 1 cup of dry lentils over low heat with enough water to cover them and 1 inch above. Add the leeks and the fresh coriander (cilantro). In a small bowl mix the mint, dry coriander and the black pepper, add to the soup. Let it simmer until the lentils are soft, add vinegar and olive oil.

Nowadays Lentil soup is still basic food in our diet with some changes perhaps- oregano instead of cilantro and onions instead of leeks.
