Lentil Soup

I love lentils, they’re satisfying and nutritious; they have a lots of protein, iron, and for diabetics it helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.
It’s healthy and super easy to make.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of uncooked lentils
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of oil
1 laurel leaf
3 cups of water
1 small tomato (dice)
1 tablespoon of onion(sliced)
1 pinch of fresh pepper
2 pinches of whole cumin

Instructions:

Put water and the lentils in a small pot, add salt and let it boil in medium fire.
Then add oil in a small skillet in a very low fire, then place the tomato and onion, stir it for two minutes and turn off the fire then let it stand. When the lentils are ready turn the fire off and add the tomato and onion and let it stand. Add pepper to taste and serve.
You can enjoy them with pita bread.
