Lentil soup in bread bowls
Description
Perfect for lunch. Preparing lentil soup is quite easy—just prepare all the necessary ingredients: chop, sauté, and gently simmer them. You can use uncooked lentils, as they will be fully cooked during the soup preparation. I highly recommend serving the soup in bread bowls, garnished with finely chopped fresh herbs. Lentil soup is very rich in protein, so it can also be served for dinner.
