Cream of Lentil Soup

In a medium frying pan, melt the butter. Sauté the onion and garlic in it. Add carrots, red lentils and soup. Cook the soup with the lid on for 15 to 20 minutes until the ingredients are soft. Then mash the whole thing.

Let the lentil soup bubble repeatedly. Stir the sour half cream with a few spoonfuls of soup and add. Season the soup with the juice of a lemon, salt and freshly ground pepper. Do not make more, because sour half cream likes to flocculate.

In a small frying pan, melt the butter. Stir in the paprika powder. Remove from heat.

Serve the soup in cups or deep plates. Drizzle the paprika butter over the top.

Tip:

To taste, you can add a little additional sour half cream on top of the soup for dressing and use a wooden stick to pull apart into a pattern along with the paprika butter.

(*) Red lentils: Lentils come in different colors and sizes. Red lentils have an exceptionally delicate flavor. They are peeled and therefore need to be cooked only briefly. Unfortunately, during cooking they lose their intense color and become almost yellow. Of course, you can also use green or brown lentils for this soup, which are unpeeled. However, these have a longer cooking time, depending on the variety thirty to fifty minutes. The skins can be disturbing after pureeing.
