Onion Lentil Soup

4 servings

30 minutes

Onion soup with lentils is a harmonious blend of simple yet rich flavors from the depths of European gastronomy. The recipe is based on golden sautéed onions that give the soup a sweet caramel note, while tender lentils make the dish nutritious and warming. Chicken broth softens the texture, salt and black pepper add refined nuances, and marjoram lends a light spiciness. Topped with a spoonful of low-fat yogurt and fresh parsley, this soup transforms into an exquisite dish balancing freshness and depth of flavor. Onion lentil soup is suitable for both everyday meals and cozy evenings when one craves warm and aromatic enjoyment.
