Lentil soup with olive oil

30 minutes

Lentil soup with olive oil is a soulful Indian dish filled with the warmth of spices and natural ingredients. It has roots in ancient Indian culinary traditions where simplicity meets rich flavors. Lentils, softened after overnight soaking, are enriched with the aromas of onion, carrot, garlic, and celery, creating a thick and nutritious base. Thyme adds a subtle spicy note while flour sautéed in olive oil gives the soup a light velvet texture. Chopped boiled eggs make the dish heartier and more interesting in texture. It pairs perfectly with aromatic black bread, turning an ordinary dinner into a gastronomic journey. This is not just soup — it's a cozy culinary story that warms from within.
