Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the leek into thin rounds, using both the white and light green parts.

5. Cook the Soup:
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
- Simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils and potatoes are tender.
- For a creamier texture, you can use an immersion blender to purée the soup partially or entirely to your desired consistency.
7. Taste and Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
- Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash and thoroughly clean the leek to avoid any dirt or grit.
- You can use either green or brown lentils for this recipe, but avoid using red lentils as they tend to become mushy.
- For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup in a blender and then mix it back into the pot.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for additional flavors and nutrients.
- Use freshly cracked black pepper for an enhanced aroma and taste.
