Some people like light soups with few ingredients and an almost liquid texture.

But there are few fans of such dishes.

In most cases, we find that the soup seems not thick enough. Some add flour or starch. Yes, the soup will become thicker and more filling, but these ingredients will not bring any benefits.

On the contrary, the use of flour and starch can cause weight gain.

What useful ingredients can cope with the task?

Red and yellow lentils

Other varieties of legumes will not cook quickly without preliminary soaking, but the indicated varieties of lentils will require only twenty minutes of cooking.
