How to Make Red Lentil Soup

I had read somewhere that it is good to start the year with a lentil dish because it predicts an influx of money and well-being. I had already published a recipe for a delicious lentil soup, but the green lentil soup should be soaked the night before, while the red lentil soup is quicker to prepare and easier to digest. It is lean in composition, and you can serve it as an appetizer for lunch on Christmas Day, although it is also pleasant on all other occasions.

ADVICE: If you want, add a bag of mint tea, which reduces the possibility of bloating, which legumes are notorious for.
Season to your taste, sprinkle with chopped parsley leaves and serve.
