How to Make Spicy Lentil Soup
Take the spices you like! I used Swedish curry (contains coriander, cayenne, fennel, turmeric and cumin among other spices), extra cumin, chili flakes and thyme.
Chop the onions (I forgot the garlic so I added it later)
Fry the onions and the garlic in butter and some paprika (dried)
Add the lentils...
the water...
the canned tomatoes...
and the chopped fresh tomatoes.
Also add the spices. I used some frozen herbs since I didn't have fresh at home. Let it boil for approx. 10 minutes. Note that the salt shouldn't be added while the soup is boiling.
When the soup is ready add a pinch of salt and perhaps some vinegar to sharpen the flavor. This is a very easy yet tasteful dish that works really well when it's getting colder outside.
I realized that I forgot to add the water to the supplies tab the last time I published this guide so here we go again!
