Carimah's lentil soup !

Ok so iam just about waiting for the Ramadan to commence for me to try these variety of soup's insha Allah . Iam hoping to try this lentil soup next week sumtime when its a cold and rainy day outside !I will leave a comment on how I find the taste and how much time it took to cook .I do fully trust Carimah Fataar ( Author of " A muslim princess ") , when she said its quick and tasty , so please dont hesitate to try this before me sisters !!



On another note , had a hot ,tasty bowel of seafood soup ( at Kaprino's ,now in greenpoint) , tonight which was really good ( doubt they will share their recipe with me !)algamdulilaah . Wiil definatelly go back there again ( I hope within this year ,ha ha ) . I enjoy cooking for my family , but no doubt, it's luvly to be waited on and have something different on the menu too.



My apologies Adela, I love your chicken soup ( the best I've eaten mmmm!). I do believe soup is real soul food ,cant understand why it's cooked mostly in winter , I could eat it at anytime , that's for sure !In this recipe below you may experiment and add more spices if you wish .



So let's indulge in the tantelizing taste of different types of soup ................!Enjoy it with hot , soft rolls .
