SLC28-W2 // "Lentils Soup"

The winter season has spread its soft but dry air everywhere. In such a situation, the search for things that keep the body warm from the inside and provide nutrition increases. With this in mind, I am pleased to present my participation in the Steemit Learning Challenge Season 28 – Week 2, which is titled:

"Lentils Soup – A Healthy and Hot Lentil Soup"

The best thing about dal soup is that it is both light and nutritious. The combination of three different pulses — yellow mong, red lentil and sabit lentil — makes this soup rich, thick and very healthy for the body. Added vegetables, butter, and mild spices not only add flavor but also strengthen the body's immunity.

🍲 Make an in detail step by step recipe of Lentils Soup

First I bathed all the vegetables one by one under cold handling water. After cleaning, cut onion, tomato, carrot, cabbage and celery finely. rasp ginger and garlic to form a pristine paste to adjoin natural incense and air to the soup.

Wash the pulses thoroughly with three separate hands. Then I soaked them for about ten minutes. By this process the pulses are digested quickly and the soup becomes more tender.

Pour three mugs of water in a pressure cookstove, add the soused lentils.

Also add all the diced vegetables. Spices — swab, turmeric, cumin powder, paprika and bay recesses are added.

Close the cooker and give 3 to 4 whistles. It takes about 25 minutes if cooked in a pot.

When the lentils and vegetables were comprehensively distorted, I deposit them in a blender and combined until sophisticated and delicate.

This move makes the soup eatery- style thin and delicate.

Heat butter in a different visage and smoothly fry ginger garlic paste and celery leaves.

When savory , add the combined soup and cook on medium flame for 8- 10 minutes.

If too thick, 1 cup additional water can be added. Finally sprinkle black pepper and the soup is ready to serve hot.

It was difficult to determine the correct thickness of the soup—adding a little too much water tends to thin it out. Cabbage does not rot quickly — sometimes takes time to soften. Blending becomes too foamy — needs re-cooking to reduce.
