Super healthy lentil soup made by chef Senay

My baby is sick..he really feels weak..I think he caught a virus, I'll make sure by tomorrow to find out, but first he needs a good rest, lots of mommy love and...my favorite medicine:

Lentil soup!

People tell me that I make the best lentil soup of the world..and this recipe I also shared with the popular tv-hosts Carlo & Irene when I was a guest cook in their tv-show Life 4 You. Here is the recipe (and let me remind you: this is a very good dish if your child doesn't want to eat vegetables..he will get so many vitamins with this SUPER HEALTHY soup:

Lentlsoup (for 12 big bowls)

300 gram of red lentls
3 spoons of sunflower oil
50 gram white rice
1 big carrot (250 gram)
4 small potatoes
1 big onion
3 pieces of garlic
chickenbouillon
1 lemon
1 can of tomato paste

Get a big soup pan.
Put it on low fire and add two spoons of oil.
Wash the carrot and cut it in small pieces. Add it in the pan.
Do the same with the potatoes, the onion and the garlic.
Add 3 liters of cooked water in it.
Turn the fire higher and add the washed lentils.
Add the rice.
Stir it really well and add the chickenbouillon (broth).
Add salt and pepper.
After the soup is cooking really well turn down the gas and let the soup cook for another fifteen minutes on low fire.
Don't forget to stir it now and then.
Add the can with the tomatopaste. Stir well.
Make the whole soup smooth with a mixer.
Serve the soup with a big slice of lemon.

Bon appetit!
