Red lentil cream soup is a true embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in Greek cuisine. Its history roots in Mediterranean dietary traditions where legumes play a key role due to their nutrition. The delicate, velvety soup with the rich nutty flavor of red lentils, complemented by the light spiciness of garlic and the spicy sweetness of paprika, provides comfort and warmth. Ricotta or soft cottage cheese adds tenderness and balance to the flavors, creating a harmonious combination with the natural depth of lentils. This soup is perfect as a light lunch or dinner and can be served with crispy bread and fresh herbs. It is not only delicious but also healthy, rich in proteins and micronutrients, making it an excellent choice for those who value health and taste.
