Lentil soup with the Thermomix


Thermomix lentil soup

How is lentil soup made? Here is the traditional recipe with the Thermomix (also for the variant with canned lentils).

Today we are preparing a perfect dish to warm up a cold evening with family or friends: lentil soup with the Thermomix. This legume soup is truly fantastic and can be flavored in many different ways. We opted for a classic recipe , with an Italian-style sauce, a little tomato… but lots of flavour!

Let's see the recipe and some variations of the preparation immediately. And speaking of variations… for a super soup, add some bacon while you fry the vegetables or opt for canned lentils for an express soup, when you just don't know what to cook for dinner. In both cases you can use any Bimby model (TM5, TM6 and TM31).
