Delicious lentil soup

Description

Hearty and aromatic soup. The soup can be made with water or meat broth. I always serve it hot, with sour cream and fresh herbs, along with flatbread. The soup turns out rich and thick. There's no need to add potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or other grains—it consists solely of lentils. Serve with herbs and sour cream.
