Yum, that's my dinner for tomorrow.
One of the best things that happened to me was finding this channel because I wanted to try to make Spanakopitas years after a Greek classmate brought them in for my Multicultural club.
The food of the world brings us all a little closer together sometimes.
Keto friendly soup. Thanks for posting🥑

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I will try to make this in the winter time.. Love red lentil
Made this earlier in the day. Instead of chilli flakes, I added cumin. Lentil soup is fab!
Thank you for this recipe. Can't really to try it now that's is getting colder here in Canada
Fakez soupa! a winter favorite
I make this soup all the time!
I add a small potato as well and dry mint instead of thyme/oregano.
I love your recipes!
Looks delicious. I’m used to the traditional brown lentil soup but I’m sure this will be another favorite soup especially now that winter will soon be here. Thanks as always for another great recipe and excellent presentation!
So so so yummy! 🤌🏻😘❤ Creamy and cozy…this was a perfect soup for a chilly fall night. My family absolutely loved it too. I have tried many of your recipes and all of them are DELICIOUS. Thank you 🙏

What about adding cumin?
Before you added the lentils you didn’t say what that was that you added 🧐
I'm definitely trying this. Thank you.
That's going to be my lunch today
