During the cold season, many people begin to actively try various soup recipes, as this dish is ideal for winter and autumn.

However, sometimes we may notice that the consistency of the soup is too liquid.

In this case, it is unlikely that you will be able to satisfy your hunger: you will only “irritate” yourself.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to methods that will help make the soup thick and filling.

Which ingredients would be the best choice?

Red or yellow lentils

Other varieties of legumes require longer cooking, but yellow and red lentils can be cooked in just 15-20 minutes.

The soup will not only become more filling and tasty, but also incredibly healthy.

Quinoa

Many have heard of this cereal, but not everyone actively uses it in the kitchen due to its high cost. But the price should not scare you off: this is an incredibly valuable product for health.

In addition, quinoa can be cooked quite quickly, in just 15 minutes.

Potato

In most cases, we add potatoes to soups, but there is another trick that will allow the dish to become thicker. One potato should be boiled until fully cooked.

Afterwards, we carefully knead it and add it to the soup.
