Orange Lentil Soup

Orange lentil soup is the first thing that comes to mind when the weather turns cold after a long hot summer. This variety in my opinion is the most flavorful and has a smoother texture. As it cooks it breaks up and becomes mushy. It’s very popular in Mediterranean cuisine. It’s used in soups and during the month of lent there are a number of keuftehs’ that are made with this type of lentil as a substitute for meat. It’s efficient because it doesn’t require any prep work such as soaking for several hours. From a health perspective, they are packed with various types of vitamins including iron, calcium, potassium, and zinc to name a few.
