Most recipes I have seen tell you to soak your lentils overnight. I am just learning to cook plant based recipes. In the Moroccan vegetable soup recipe you did not specify to soak them first. How do you determine when to soak first or not. Thank you can’t wait to try this!
The email came this morning, sounded good, I had the ingredients, so made it. WOW!!! Unexpectedly delicious! The only change I did was use a Yukon Gold potato instead of a sweet potato, because that’s what I had. Thanks for the tasty recipe!
I just made this soup today for the first time. It is DELICIOUS! So warm and flavorful! I substitued a yellow pepper for the red because it was on hand. The soup certainly did not lack flavor or color! Next time I would increase the Cayenne Pepper just a bit to add some heat. I suggest using the freshest lemons and kale you can find as those 2 flavors really come through beautifully. Excellent recipe – a keeper!
