Preparation

1 Directions: 2 Wash the lentils and let them drain. 3 Finely chop the onion and sweat it in olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the drained lentils, salt, Vegeta, black pepper, crushed chili peppers, and let it sweat for an additional 5 minutes. 4 Turn the heat to high, add water, stir, and wait until it starts boiling vigorously.

Remove from heat, taste, add salt if needed, and serve.

About


One of my first blog posts was about Split Mong Bean Soup and in that post I mentioned that possibilities for creamy bean soups are endless. Here is another hardy soup just screaming: "I will warm you upon a cold day like today is! Cook me!!!" And today I served it for my loved ones with crunchy gooey cheese steak style 
qesadeyas.
