Some days are never meant to be the way it is to be. I had so much plans for the weekend, unfortunately everything is almost down the drains. There is no point in complaining, it is much better to take things in your way… However, I have planned a couple of things in the kitchen for sure, let me see how it works out… 🙂
Today’s recipe is a very simple soup. Actually, we are not a soup family. We hardly have soup. My umma is not very fond of it, so we hardly make it. Also in case we make it, it’s always the packs of Maggi or Knorr and never from scratch at home. This is the very first soup I have made at home and I really loved the way it tasted. The only problem that it kept getting thick when it gets cold, but that’s the way lentils are, right?

I don't like soups too. In fact, if we go out and even if every single person who is with us starts with a soup, I say no 😉 There are rare exceptions – But they are mostly homemade from scratch. The lentil soup sounds like something I will like 🙂
