The red lentil soup cooked in a pressure cooker with vegetables like celery, carrots, onion, etc., is really very, very tasty.
During the pre-holiday period and even on New Year’s Eve, many prepare it for dinner. We love to enjoy lentils as a soup cooked in the same way but with the addition of a little small-format pasta.
Red lentils are very suitable for soups and stews. They cook faster and are more digestible.
