Tips:

  • Use high-quality lentils. Lentils come in a variety of colors and sizes, but for this soup, we recommend using small, green lentils. They hold their shape well and cook quickly.
  • Rinse the lentils before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a good quality red wine. A dry red wine with a medium body, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well in this soup.
  • Don't boil the soup. A gentle simmer is all that is needed to cook the lentils and vegetables.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This red wine lentil soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up any leftover red wine. So next time you're looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
