This Spicy Sprouted Lentils Soup came out wonderfully, and it was love at first slurp! But, of course, you have to try this one, so whenever you make a batch of Sprouted Lentils, make sure you save some to make this soup.
Tips
I usually use sprouted lentils for cold or warm salads, which didn’t match today’s cravings, so I went online to get some inspiration and realized that sprouted lentils go very well with soups! So I got in the kitchen and started creating something aligned with our cravings.
As with every soup, it gets better with time, so make enough to try more later. Soups are also great for freezing, a great way to save you some time, and eat deliciously consistently.

Hola!
Se puede hacer la sopa con las lentejas sin germinar? Y en ese caso, el procedimiento sería el mismo que con las germinadas o tendría que cocinarlas primero?
Gracias!! Saludos!!!
Hola Taly!, si! se puede, tendrías que usar lentejas ya hervidas. Te aconsejaría ponerlas unos 2 minutos antes de apagar el fuego para que queden más suaves.
