Sometimes I have such strong cravings, I just can’t help myself and have to eat that food in maximum an hour or otherwise I can’t live on. I felt like this today lunchtime with warm creamy soups. I felt like I need any kind of warm soups and I could not think of anything else.
Red lentils are my go to soup ingredients. First of all, they don’t need any soaking. Then they are cooked in a few minutes. And you can season the soup in so many ways.
I chose this time a mediterranean way for the soup with thyme, basil, dried tomatoes, but red lentils are awesome with any kind of seasoning.
