Lentil Soup

Lentils  - no matter the colour : red, green - represent a great low GL food: low in fats, high in fibres (soluble and insoluble), seems to protect against cancer and cardiovascular diseases...and the soup is really tasty...
don't believe my word for this...trust your own senses...

so, let's make that soup and judge...

225-250 grams of dried red lentils 
2 garlic cloves
salt, chilli powder if you like it hot
about 750 gr boiled water
the juice from half a lemon
to finish it - some fresh coriander or parley - chopped

1. rinse well the lentils, until the water is clean

2. put the garlic cloves through the garlic press and fry it a little, just to develop the aroma 

3.mix the soaked lentils, then add some spices - salt would be enough ...and some chilli powder maybe...

4. Transfer all in the slow cooker if u use one, and add the boiling water..put it on 'high' for maybe one hour......If u cook it in a normal pot, just leave it for about 40 minutes to boil...

5. as the last step - squeeze half of lemon, and add the juice...leave the soup to boil about 10 more minutes...

That's all.

Add some freshly chopped coriander (or parley) and enjoy it while hot ..or warm ... :-)
