this nourishing red lentil soup is one that i first started making when i was in university and now i often make it when it's cold and gloomy outside it requires very little supervision and it takes just a few minutes to prep and then you can walk away and lunch or dinner practically makes itself the lentils in the soup make this really protein packed and it also offers a really pleasant natural creaminess as well you can always blend up the soup if you want it creamier still but i think the texture of it is actually quite nice so the only prep we need to do for this one is to chop up one onion into little bits and also one potato into small little cubes then to a large pot on high heat we're gonna add some oil and the onion and when the onion becomes lightly golden we can add all of the remaining ingredients all at once so this is going to be one vegetable bouillon cube that we first crush up a little bit a cup of rinsed dry red lentils the chopped up potatoes a tablespoon of paprika powder and two teaspoons each of onion powder and garlic powder along with a little sprinkle of salt and some ground black pepper however much you think you might like along with two teaspoons of balsamic vinegar and finally about a liter of water i'm going to give this all a stir cover it with a lid and let this cook for about NUMBER_TOKEN minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and then you're ready to serve it up into some bowls if you want to elevate the soup this is optional but you can add some caramelized onion on top of it it's really lovely but one thing i always make sure to serve it with is some plant-based yogurt coconut yogurt being my favorite i feel like it balances out the flavors really nicely adds to the creaminess and to make it more filling you can serve it with some toasted bread on the side that you can dip into the soup and that's it you're ready to enjoy this one for a comprehensive breakdown of all of the recipes that we shared today be sure to check out the links that are in the description box below and we also have a print feature for our recipes in case that helps while you're cooking in the kitchen and again thank you to audible for partnering with us on today's video it was my eldest sister that introduced me to audible years and years ago and it's no exaggeration when i say that audiobooks have changed my life i have learned so much from the audiobooks i've listened to but i've also escaped into so many different worlds just while i'm cooking or cleaning driving you know what often i even like make an excuse to go for a walk just so i can listen to my audio books right now i'm listening to the house on the cerulean sea it's by tj clune and it's this enchanting and sweet and magical audiobook about this guy named linus who works for the department of magical youth and he's tasked with his top secret mission to go to this orphanage that's tucked away on a remote island and it's a story about finding family and love in the most unusual group of misfit magical children i really recommend it if you'd like to listen to it yourself you can get it for free just visit URL_TOKEN forward slash
