Easy Yellow Lentil Soup
I would never try to call an impractical recipe as easy. If it's difficult, I say it's difficult, if you're a beginner in the kitchen, don't mess with this recipe. But I have nothing to say to this recipe other than easy.
If your lentils are fresh and easy to cook and your hand is fast, your soup will be ready in 20 minutes, at most half an hour. You can drink it at iftar, at sahur, you can make it for yourself, you can host guests.
You can also apply the recipe with red lentils. But its color will be slightly orange and its flavour will change. If you want to use red lentils, I recommend using the easiest lentil soup recipe instead of this recipe.
Easy yellow lentil soup, as its name claims, is a very easy soup to make. But if you are very, very new to the kitchen, if you do not even know how to fry onions (you may not know how to fry onions even if you have aged in the kitchen, so check it out) you can take a look at the article on the tips of roasting onions.
