Lentil soup with celery
Description
Perfect for lunch. The lentil soup with celery turns out spicy and warming due to the inclusion of chili pepper. When preparing lentil soup with celery, be cautious with the chili—taste as you go, and it's better to add more heat later. The recipe includes a small amount of sugar, which is added when combining the vegetables and meat with tomato paste. Again, taste as you cook and handle spices very carefully, especially when making lentil soup with celery for the first time. Good luck and enjoy!
