Thick lentil soup
Description
Hearty and aromatic soup. This thick lentil soup recipe is unusual thanks to the addition of pork belly. And for some reason, we rarely use lentils themselves. That should be changed! By the way, when preparing thick lentil soup at home, I usually fry the pork belly in a dry skillet and add the crispy pieces to the finished pureed soup. But that's up to you. The soup is ready to serve.
