Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the ingredients: Rinse the lentils and soak them in water for at least 1 hour. Peel the onion and garlic, and cut the potatoes into smaller cubes.
  • Soup base: Sauté the finely chopped onion in oil until golden. Add the chopped garlic and briefly sauté it to release its aroma.
  • Roux: Sprinkle in the flour, stir and create a light roux. Add the sweet paprika, immediately stir and pour in about 300 ml of water. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk to prevent lumps.
  • Cooking the lentils: Add the soaked and drained lentils to the pot along with the bay leaves and pour in about 1.2 liters of hot water. Bring to a boil.
  • Adding the potatoes: When the lentils are almost tender, add the potatoes and cook for another 10–15 minutes, until both are soft.
  • Enriching the soup: Mix the milk with the cream and pour into the soup. Simmer briefly over low heat so the flavors meld.
  • Seasoning: Remove from the heat and season with salt, pepper and vinegar to taste.
  • Serving: Serve the soup hot, ideally with a slice of fresh homemade bread.
