MILLET & RED LENTIL SOUP

i’m trying to add more legumes and different cereals to our diet, in order to cut meat and discover new vegetarian dishes. i used red peeled lentils because they are more digestible for kids. alma loves it and zoe… well it’s not her favorite but experts say that a child must try the same food more then ten times to appreciate it, so…

the preparation is super quickly: fry slightly half onion and a carrot (we used water instead of oil), then add a pinch of salt and 2 lt of water. when it boils, add 200gr of lentils and 150gr of millet (wash  them before) and let everything simmer for 20-30 minutes. i whisked it for alma and - believe me – she was enthusiastic!

you can see the original recipe here (the author suggests other ingredients such as kombu and miso but i didn’t have them).
