looks delish!  

Thanks! It's a lentil soup I make for Friday nights to go with challah :D 

I love soups! And this one looks especially good. I saw this post yesterday and it inspired me to make a huge pot of cabbage roll casserole soup today. Delicious 🤤 

1 cup of dried red organic lentils 3 stalks celery Two cups of frozen veggies, whatever kind. Tsp coriander Tsp cumin Tsp tumeric 1 bay leaf Pinch of pepper flakes 1 large can diced tomatoes 3 cloves garlic One onion Tsp fresh ginger I heat up the celery, onion, garlic and ginger in 1tbsp oil, once it starts to get a bit transparent i add in the spices, i crush the coriander seeds first. After about 10 min I add 6 cups of water and a cup if rinsed/drained lentils. Once they are good and tender I add the tomatoes. I boil up the frozen veggies separately and then add them, can add with the water they are cooked in if you want a thinner soup. I usually serve with cilantro after it's slowly simmeres for a few hours.  

I will absolutely be giving this a try 😊
