Lentil Soup

Ingredients

1 cup red lentil washed and drained
1 big onion cut into cubes
2 carrots sliced
1 medium potato peeled and cut into cubes
6 cups water
1-2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 crashed pepper(optional)

Preparation

Put lentil, onions, carrots, potatoes in a deep pan, add stock in it and let it simmer for 35-40 minutes. If you use pressure cooker, it will take 20 minutes after boiled. Add salt and spices to taste.

If you think it needs water, add some water. Beacuse red lentil really absorbes lots of liquid.

Blend it with a hand blender and serve hot.
