If you are looking to prepare a tasty, healthy, economical and energetic dish, then nothing better than
curried lentil soup . This dish is prepared with red lentils, which are ideal for soups and also for purees or creams. These lentils are very soft, so they do not need soaking or a long cooking time, more than 20 minutes can completely dissolve them, which is why they are ideal for puree.
In addition, you will see that
red lentils are devoid of their skin, which is why they are the most recommended for people who suffer from digestive problems when eating legumes.
As they cook, their initial orange color will change to yellow and with the presence of curry in the dish it will turn a very appetizing intense yellow. Curry will not only add color, it will also provide great health benefits, thanks to its ingredients such as nutmeg, ginger, cayenne pepper, cloves, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and of course turmeric, responsible for its characteristic color.
