@@vincenzosplate I know this german variety without italian herbs and tomatoes, but with pepper, stock and maggiorana, but also as a sweet-sour variety with herb vinegar and sugar. In my family it is used also add belly bacon in little roasted pieces to it and serve it with large vienne sausages. Parsley above it and rye bread. But I must say, your recipe is much much lighter and looks so yummy. Thank you for showing us this delicious meal.
Vincenzo made me fall in love with Italian food. I live in a little village in india and there arent any good restaurants here, so the only way to get italian food is to make it yourself. Thank you so much.
Great addition that many greek families use in the lentil soup is cumin and peppers (spicy or bell peppers). Many put some vinegar on top too. Also since we are greek, feta cheese on the side, or in the soup.
We also use peppers in Bulgaria instead of celery and sometimes i like to add chili flakes with the peppers and there is also a version with a little bit of coconut milk that also makes it really good at the end. Best heart warming dish for the winter for sure. One of my favorite!
In my culinary school during a practical exam a classmate made Greek salad as an accompaniment to his menu the examiner asked him what makes this a Greek salad all he said was "feta Cheese" the examiner walked away chuckling
Vincenzo's recipe is identical to the Greek version, only that it's missing tomato paste and passata. I've never heard of adding cumin to any Greek soup, our lentil (fakés) and bean (fasoláda) soups have no spices other than pepper and paprika. Bell peppers are normally added to bean soup alone.
Thank You for a perfect Lenten Meal on a Friday. I had worked all day and had the ingredients on hand for a simple, quick, and delicious meal. Will be making this more often!
Happy New Year to you, your family members, and your staff members from Tokyo, Japan! I made this lentil soup at the end of the year, and shared it with my junior. He didn't know the meaning behind the recipe, and became very happy to know it and taste your authentic soup. The taste is so goooood! Thanks to you, we had a very good time.
hi vincenzo. i did this tonite. when i went to the supermarket to get the ingredients i was missing, i noticed they were selling chayote. i got one....and added it to the soup after it had been boiling for a while..... it was quite delicious. now i have a lot of soup left over.....it will not go to waste.
It's wonderful to get creative with ingredients and make a dish truly your own. Enjoy the leftovers, and if you ever have more culinary adventures or questions about Italian cuisine, feel free to reach out. Buon appetito! 🍲👨🍳🇮🇹
The lentil soup is a staple food for indians we eat it everyday with rice.. no matter what .. trust me .. the old women of our country could win MasterChef with the variety of food they can make with lentil only..
I'm so glad you're interested in trying the Italian version of lentils! It's always exciting to explore new flavors and cuisines 🤩 Let me know how it turns out when you give it a try! 🍽️
It is almost the same as we cook it in Germania. But we do not add Tomatos....we put in potato squares and sliced or whole Wiener Sausages or really good smokey bacon/porkbelly. And for the finish, fresh chopped parsely ....nom, nom, nom. The italian version looks interesting, i will try this soon. Cheers.
Actually in Italy you will likely find it more with parsley rather than thyme and oregano as Vincenzo did, so the most common recipe is even more similar to the German one. But I mean, this is a very typical tradional farmers dish, made by very poor people, and poverty is something that is quite international :D
I totally understand! Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking. Adding butter to the toast and a pat of butter in the bowl sounds delicious. Enjoy and let me know how it turns out! 🍽️👨🍳🧈
I might not be a chef, but I cooked all my life and I'm 56. I can tell you for sure that the lentils (in a soup) are best when they are cooked until they start breaking. I'm sorry to tell you, Vicenzo, but that looks more like a stew than a soup. That's just my humble opinion. Love your work, man ...
Will be making this soon i never had lentil soup before perfect for raining days in Singapore and after office meals love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
It finally started raining here, and I am making this today! I am going to add a little bacon grease to the olive oil when I cook the sofrito. This is going to be so good! I really enjoy your videos with your son and your Nonna. Thank you for sharing them with us. Felice anno nuovo!
Pretty much exactly like the German lentil soup my mother used to make except that she would throw in some Kassler (cured & lightly smoked pork) in there too and some other vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, turnip or leeks.
Imagine if people, including Vincenzo, was like the onion, carrot and celery making friends together. That would be a world I’d like to live in. Hahaha
Vincenzo, sei l'orgoglio della nostra patria. Grazie per esportare la nostra tradizione con tanta chiarezza e passione! Spero che un giorno farai la ricetta dei pizzocheri, è l'unica che non mi riesce mai 😭💔 Continua così, il tuo canale è fantastico! Un abbraccio dal Bel Paese ❤️🇮🇹
You're very welcome! 😄 I'm glad you think it looks fantastico. Enjoy your culinary adventures, and if you ever need more tips or recipes, feel free to reach out. 🇮🇹👨🍳😊
I Replaced the olive oil with Guanchale , I rendered the fat on the skillet and then added the sofrito . I left the crispy salty guanchale bits In the soup and topped the soup with lots of pecorino, Vincenzo you are a master chef ❤
My oregano, marjoram and thyme escaped from my herb garden and I now have huge patches of them growing in my back and front yards. The bees go mad on them when they flower. Now if I could only get basil and rosemary to do likewise (wrong climate, unfortunately).
That's a lovely herb garden surprise! 🌿🐝 Nature's gift to your cooking. Basil and rosemary might be a bit trickier, but you never know, they might surprise you too one day! 🌱😄🍽️
I really like making French onion soup, but you're making lentil soup is so simple and nice. Croutons from Sourdough Bread is really crunchy and good for make French onion soup. I love the Italian recipes ❤
I never had lentil soup this good and it's such an easy recipe too. The video is very well made with easy to follow instructions, thank you very much! I also love the fact that the ingredients of the soffritto are arranged on the plate to look like the italian flag (except for the carrot being orange instead of red of course), that's a clever little detail! :)
lentil soups are very common in turkey, we make a very similar soup like you did wtih green lentils and we call it green lentil soup. what we call "lentil soup" is made from more orange coloured red lentils which break down once you cook it, then we use blender to make it homogeneous! you should definitely try that too
Thank you for sharing the recipe. Sometimes I use an immersion blender a bit to create a thicker version of the soup. I have a question--what are your recipes for vegetable stock? I usually have chicken stock on hand but a vegetable stock is good and does not confuse the taste.
Lovely ....we in India eat lentils atleast 4-5 times a week along with Roti (Indian wheat tortilla), this was simpler ...do try the one Indian way too which has onion garlic tomato and ginger instead of the veggies u put and masalas (dried herb powders - turmeric, coriander, cumin, pepper and salt) if u can tolerate the sharpness and hotness of those 😬😅
Something like this 👇 Though we don't eat this style everyday as there is lots of butter and cream in it but there are so many varieties and this one is favourite 😋 ua-cam.com/video/f1lpCi_70sQ/v-deo.html
I'm making this right now from your recipe and it's beautiful... but my wife ate the little bit of bread I was saving and just realized and it's too late to go get some. It's ok still good.
My favorite thing about learning from Vincenzo is that I learned the value of “keep it simple, use great ingredients.”
Love that! 🙏🏻❤
That is the thing with Italian dishes. Uses few ingredients. Treated VERY well it will work. Treat it poorly it will be doomed
This is something we eat a lot here in Germany. I didn't know Italians had their own version. Sounds and looks delicious.
Linsen und Spätzle, beste👌🏼
Many thanks 🙏🏻 how do you make it in Germany?

We have lentil soup in Scotland as well. It's usually made with a ham base, red lentils and salt to taste. Some people also add a little carrot too.
Interesting!
Same i do ham or a little bacon ❤️ a little quinoa and green squash and recao or coriander leaf in English
Nice, lentils are a staple in India, i eat some kind of lentil almost everyday, would try the Italian version as well.

Its like the Moroccan way my friend. Accept for the bread part, we use the bread to scoop😁 and some baked ansjofish on the side and we ready to go!
Interesting
I make mine the same way, big batch for lunch for the week at work. Sometimes if I have some bell pepper left from a recent recipe I’ll throw that in.
Do italians blend the lentils in other soup recipes? Because in the middle East we always blend the lentils to have a sort of creamy soup consistently
mmh nope, not that I know!
