Gather
- 200 g split red lentils (whole red lentils work too)
- 1 litres boiling water
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- *additional extras garlic powder/dried mint/chilli flakes
Prepare
-
Wash the lentils thoroughly in a sieve then add to a large pan.
-
Put the heat on high and carefully add the boiling water and the salt.
-
Bring the lentils back to the boil, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and leave for 30-40 minutes.
-
Add the black pepper, then check the consistency is as desired and the seasoning is good. For a thicker soup, cook a bit longer, or add more water if you prefer a more liquid soup.
-
Serve hot or warm (I like it cold too)!
-
Enjoy!
