Lentils have been popular in Jewish cuisine since ancient times. Remember the biblical Esau, who sold his sacred birthright for a simple lentil soup? Such is the love for humble beans, which, however, magically transform in the presence of bright oriental spices and happily absorb their aromas. After some time, the lentil soup begins to exude such a spicy spirit that you involuntarily begin to understand the foolish Esau. And in the conditions of a dull, vaguely protracted, bone-chilling off-season, bright lentil soup is needed as a medicine.

There are many variations with this chord: the soup is supplemented with tomato paste, onions, carrots, garlic, dried mint, and some even potatoes, and the taste is softened with milk or cream.
