Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe

[@mbofcb]

Wow! I’m a 75 year old man who rarely cooks but I was looking for a soup recipe that would be like the soup my mom made. This is a lot like it and I was blown away by how delicious it is. I added a sweet potato to it because that’s what I remember my mom saying about her “secret ingredient “ and it was a good addition. When I served it I added a dollop of sour cream too. I will definitely make this again.

[@Ronno4691]

Can your fellow KZbin viewers pop round for some? 😅

[@margaretr5701]

Well done! It's nice to find a soup you like, then add something traditional to make it just like Mom's.😊

[@rachelcoleman4693]

I like to put pumpkin in my lentil stew. 😇

[@calk515]

Sweet potato makes sense, I will take your advice. Some people add plantains and tastes so good; as he says at the beginning, spices and ingredients varies.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

The variations are very interesting. 🤠💟

[@drphibesrises]

I love lentil soup. This recipe is almost exactly like my Mom used to make. She had a restaurant and this was so popular. It would sell out quickly. I wish she was still around, but this brought back great memories of her. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Thanks for watching and for sharing that story about your mom.

[@rob-oe4wr]

[@MsNZgal]

I make this soup a lot. I do housesits and leave this soup for the home owner before I leave. It goes down a treat. I think the lemon is the ingredient that gives it that extra punch. Love this soup.

[@zuko8288]

I made it tonight, without adding carrots & celeries b'coz i don't have. It came out very delicious me & my little sister loved it so much & eaten it fully. Thanks for great recipe.

[@papercuts7777]

Good call with a lemon

I made this for dinner. Excellent! Your right about caramelizing the onions, so delish. I added some fresh cilantro and some cayenne pepper to add a little kick.Thank you😊

[@brendabardsley3082]

Seen lots of Lentil soup recipes But, this one is the best its the caramelized onions and browning of the carrots,celery, taking your time

[@johnfogerty-id]

Hello 👋 Did you try the recipe?

[@johnbarker1353]

Thanks! I made the soup for thr first time Split Pee it turned out wonderful, Regards

[@mimib1583]

Found my original recipe as I was watching this and realized it is exactly the same minus ham. I just finished a batch with ham, and it is divine. ❤

[@armsjo]

I made the lentil soup last night. Love, love, love it. I also did homemade croutons for it. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the great recipe

[@avraidire7163]

I’m amazed to hear that the majority of Americans still consume canned soups and think this is a new recipe. My grandmother made this exact same lentil soup over 45 years ago and it was just one of the many dishes that I learned to cook as a child. Cooking is a skill which should be absolutely taught at home. Thanks grandma,

[@deliiri0us]

Just made this! I live in LA area and there’s this ridiculously fancy and expensive grocery store that makes delicious lentil soup. I’ve been spending too much money for their soup when I could easily make it myself. This recipe is totally different than the one I buy from the market but it still came out good! Mine actually came out pretty thick and when I blended 35% of the soup it got even thicker. lol No big deal when I can add more stock or water to it. This tastes great with a crusty bread. 😊

[@lmansur1000]

Thanks for the info re thickness.. I haven blenders and did not plan to use one and was worried about the thickness. So you comment here too off the pressure. 🙏🌷🌿

[@sofialico5249]

Billy I want to thank you for creating simple recipes and ever since I’ve been watching your channel I’ve been trying several can’t stop cooking. I’ve tried this recipe and the lasagna and I use to buy my lunch now thanks to you I’ve saved a ton of money. Keep it coming cause I’ve tried other sites boy oh boy nothing compares to your simple quality recipes. Very happpy thank you again.

[@davidmichael9034]

Thanks

[@JFP017]

Bonjour Chef Parisi, thank you for this superb recipe. Having gone through many recipe videos, I easily award you top grades for your commendable skills to communicate. I should know: now retired, I've trained communications students for over 40 years. You would have passed my tough courses with flying colours. Congratulations Chef!

[@simaporter2142]

It looks delicious specially in winter time

[@hannahkamau1065]

Just made this and served with rice! Even my son and husband who dislike lentils, they loved it! I had all the ingredients in the cardboard. Delicious!!

I made this tonight and it was excellent! The lemon put it over the top🥰

[@llc9721]

Lentils, carrots, celery but I use scallions instead of onions, add or garnish with cilantro, add salt at the end. Serve with french bread and butter. Makes a hearty, filling meal.

[@fahmilaila366]

I wanted to thank you fir yiur videos. So grateful to you❤

[@sassyt1545]

Just made this. So dang good! The caramelized onions are everything! Thank you, Billy!

[@JJONNYREPP]

Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe 1318pm 16.5.22 i told my mother to caramelize her onions when she created a soup. but she wouldn't have it. sweat off yer 2 onions (to caramelize you can use sugar); add taters after blanching and add lentils after blanching; sweat off all ingredients... and then add water.. leave on hob to warm. switch off hob. blend the veg with, you guessed it, a blender! and then add the rest of lentils to simmer with depleting heat. a very simple and cost effective rendition of an old favourite. of course you can add carrots, even more tater and celery, leek... and all manner of b.s - to suit yer own proclivities. and on another tack - it's the fact yer going crazy that you decided to make some home made soup.

@@sassyt1545 Homemade Lentil Soup Recipe 0941am 25.5.22 the fine tradition of decent cooking is upon us again, i feel. now that blokes or women, for that matter, have gotten over the fact that microwave chips might not pass muster 24/7 - as the snack of choice. and men in the kitchen still being frowned upon one thinks: all hail the hairy bikers and rick stein etc etc etc for at least allowing us a glimpse into the world of the culinary dilettente - the viewer of these fine televisual vehicles being the dilettentes asked to partake in some am dram cooking escapades, not the chefs themselves being the dilettentes (sic).... even ade edmonsdon did his bit to further the aims of some dolt trynna implant the odd meal in front of a degraded male routine. that said; if that particular woman feels the kitchen is her domain then i aint gonna argue. erm... in short i have just prepared my own lentil soup - chilli lentil and onion soup - taters added to thicken. i need to make the concerted effort to properly cook the lentils, though. mine are coming out a bit al dente. a full pack of lentils for one soup!!! half to add to the soup when you blend half to add to the soup when completed. the chilli leaves large gaps in taste, though. as does celery. i have forgone celery - it is crap and has a tendency to make soup stringy. which i hate. it is a bare bones (as they say) soup and although not on a par with gruel is expected to get me through culinary sparse times. yet again!!! i think navy beans soup might be in the offing, don't you. any tips on that foodstuff?

[@kiramisuuuu]

I just finished eating and I can only say that I am full and happy! Thank you!

[@angelaa9948]

This recipe makes the most delicious soup! I was on a vegan fast so I had to sub avocado oil for the butter, and I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. When it was done and already perfect, I found a bag of spinach in the fridge that needed to be used and tossed it in. I can’t imagine it being any better 😋

[@adrienne1773]

Great recipe, left out the potatoes added the spinach, very tasty.

[@sdflores7572]

Very nutritious and delicious!!! I do the same steps as this recipe but what I don't add is the celery because I don't like it but instead I put sofrito and to make it a bit salty I just add the chicken broth like the video. I also add half a habanero pepper to make it spicy because I like spicy foods. So many different ways to do it, love the video!

[@RebeccaClark-mr5pt]

Made this recipe so delicious

Great 😊 it's such an exciting feeling to see such feedback.

[@nyehlairsheid8516]

Hands down THE most flavorful lentil soup I’ve ever prepared. I am a doula and I prepare this for most of my clients and THEY LOVE IT! I always eat 1-2 servings then store the rest in 32 oz mason jars for later. God bless this recipe. Follow the recipe!

I love lentils! They taste delicious plain, too!

Thank you so much for teaching the Lentil soup.🙏

My husband loves Lentil soup. I will try this easy recipe. Thanks growing up in Germany his grandpa used vinegar not lemon to finish before serving. I’ll give him the choice. He may want sausage as well. ❤

really good!! i used red lentils and cucumbers instead of celery and oh my goodness it’s great!! i used my own seasoning and as much as i could find and it was amazinhggg will be making again :))

Yum!! I make mine similar…just with a Mexican twist. I also add Roma tomatoes, Serrano peppers and bacon bits. Lentils are comfort food! Thank you for all of your videos!

[@aphyngodiva2551]

I'm borrowing a lot of things from this recipe for my lentil soup tonight. I'm obsessed with this lentil soup from Kalachandiji's in Dallas (it's called sambar) and want something that tastes at least somewhat similar to it. A lot of recipes online don't even use cumin! I don't understand how you can't use cumin! It really makes the dish! I think the caramelized onions are also going to be fantastic, excited to try it!

[@irinadalah9089]

thanks for explaining about the french lentils! I love their color, and I was looking for something that won't break up - I want the soup liquid to keep clear, for my youngest daughter to eat of it as well. I also used a kohlrabi instead of the potato - I'm diabetic, so I tend to eat as little potato as possible - and also for the liquid to keep as clear as possible as I mentioned above. how about black lentils? those have a higher content of iron, and all my family needs it. I'll try black lentils next time. oh, and of course, I didn't blend any of it thanks for sharing!

I signed up for your channel right away. It is truly fantastic. I just opened a channel dedicated to traditional Italian cuisine. It is very nice to see your recipes and discover cuisines from all over the world. We Italians use few spices and sauces and rely more on technique, our culture is based more on the exaltation of the main ingredient. You are very good 😋😋😋
