In these Christmas times beautiful and crazy,
(although I do not go out much I'm the one that I get to those who come to the house) a simple and delicious soup recipe, and then we continue with the Christmas recipes.
I call it my magic soup, because of how rich it is, how fast it is made and how comforting it is. My daugther say that also has many vitamins and is good. But I do it because only I love it.
Is vegetarian too, have red lentils, carrots, spices, curry, some basil and zucchini, :)

Hemos tenido unos dias rarísimos acá en Santiago . Algunos dias con calor otros con frio, En fin.
Que tal una sopita? despues viene todo lo que comemos en Navidad que es tan rico.
Esta sopa me encanta. Facil. deliciosa y maravillosa.
Las lentejas rojas tienen la gracia que no se remojan como las otras y se deshacen rapidamente. o sea uno la hace super rapido.

Para la noche es ideal.
