Boil half a cup green lentils in 4 cups water for 15 minutes.
Sauté the onion in 1 tablespoon oil for 5 minutes, then add 1 chopped beet.
Turn the beet for 4 minutes so its color passes into the oil and the soup becomes brighter.
Add the lentils and hot water, then cook over low heat for 18 minutes.
Add vinegar or lemon after turning off the heat so the beet color does not turn dull.
💡 Tip: Cutting the beet into small cubes helps it soften more evenly in the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the green lentil and beet soup into a hot bowl, leaving the lentils visible on the beet-colored surface.
