      The soup looks delicious. It's better to use a stainless steel immersion blender than a plastic mixer blender. Hot foods and liquids should not come in contact with plastic as the plastic chemicals will be released into the food. This is bad for our health.

    I used to love eating meals with a lot of meat and starches, but I've come to find meals like this so much better. It offers so much more nutrition, flavour, and interest. Somehow it's generally cheaper, easier to keep around the house, and so much harder to over-do; it's kind of perfect. This video just reminded me of what an incredible departure I've had from my previous palette. The idea of a burger and fries or steak and potatoes doesn't really get me excited, but I can practically taste this soup across the screen, and I love it.

      It’s often hard for older men in particular to change their habits. My husband always resorts to same old things like ham, bacon sausages, pork chops cooked in lots of fat, especially if he does the cooking . These recipes are so tasty and nutritious that he actually asks for them and doesn’t feel cheated.

    I’ve made many variations of lentil soup. Your soup was far and away the best I’ve ever made. I used vegetable broth rather than water, but the taste and texture was amazing. It’s pure perfection

      Also the broth to saute instead of oil.... Makes for a healthier soup. Drizzle some reduced vegi stock on top. Your body will thank you.

      @@smallfootprint2961 I actually drizzled som bacon fat from the frying pan all over the soup. The small pieces of blackened, salty, destructivly fried and burnt rests from the crispened bacon really elevated all of the tastes. It adds that extra salt and lip balmy animalistic thick and sticky faty feeling. Like when you dig your hands into a sheep fur. But in your mouth

    I did not think my meat and potatoes Husband would even try it. When he woke up from his nap (gotta love retirement) I guess he had smelled it and helped himself to a bowl. He likes it!
    Many Thanks Yeung Man!
    Like many others, I have lentils in the cupboard but almost never use them.

    I've been working on rounding out my own lentil soup recipe.
    I first seen recipes usually chicken stock or water.....I eventually saw vegetable stock referenced.
    I make my own vegetable stock and think in a soup such as this means every thing. I use an "exotic concoction" of Cumin, Turmeric, Paprika, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder and a pinch of Crushed Red Pepper 😋
    This type soup is so faraway from the juvenile stuff I had growing up.
    It's natural, pure, hearty and health!

    The consistency of the soup is what we call the Dal in my country, India and we eat it with Roti/chapati/naan/kulcha / Rumali roti/ bhakri (all types of Indian Bread) or plain rice. Interesting that it's consumed as a soup. I had eaten it as a soup in Istanbul, Turkey too.Good variation with potatoes which we usually eat as a vegetable soupy ( curry ) or solid
