Description

This rustic Sour Lentil Soup is a comforting classic that balances the earthy richness of brown lentils with a bright, tangy kick from vinegar.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the brown lentils thoroughly in cold water using a sieve, then drain well.
  2. In a large pot, combine the rinsed lentils, 2 liters of water, chopped spring onions, crushed garlic (if using), olive oil, and chopped coriander.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently for 1 hour, or until the lentils are soft and tender.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small jar or bowl, mix 1/2 dl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of flour until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Gradually pour the flour mixture into the simmering soup while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
  7. Continue stirring until the soup thickens slightly to your desired consistency.
  8. Stir in the vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Return the soup to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  10. Serve hot.
