Lentil Soup

I swear that this is the best soup you are ever going to eat! :) But little bit of history first. When we were moving my friend Jakub prepared the soup for us since we were not able to cook anything in the kitchen. It was so nice to have a hot bowl of soup with fresh bread and beer :) So I had to learn the recipe and now I want to share it also with you guys!!! After you try it out, your life will be suddenly defined as "before the lentil soup" and "after the lentil soup" :)) 

Ingredients

• 250g green lentils
• 3 carrots
• 6 middle sized potatoes
• 4 cloves of garlis
• 1 can of peeled tomatoes
• 1 big onion
• salt, pepper
• marjoram
• sweet paprika
• chilli
• butter + oil

Directions

Chop the onion and fry it in a big pan on hot oil and butter. Make sure that onion is getting almost brownish, then add the tomatoes. Cook for a while and add around 2 litres of water (depending how big is your pan). Put the lentils in and cook till the lentils are soft (I had green lentils and it took around 40min and I did not put them before in the water). Then add the carrots cut into small circles, let it cook for 10 minutes and add the potatoes and garlic. Flavour with salt and pepper, majoran and sweet paprika. I added also little bit of chilli cayenne (as we say at home: for little bit of kick :)) ). Wait couple of minutes, check if the potatoes and carrots are soft and you can serve your soup. Fits perfectly with beer!!!
