Delicious and nutritious lentil soup🍲✨ [ESP-ENG]

Hi friends, lovers of delicious food and desserts ✨!
I hope you are feeling great and have had a wonderful day, around here everything is great thank God, happy for a cool and at times rainy day.
At home we love to eat everything, and in one of our favorite grains are lentils which obviously have a unique flavor and the fact that they are soft when it comes to cooking gives it that extra plus that we all need.
Although there are very versatile ways to prepare them, whether adding sausage (I love it), bacon, e/o, this time I wanted to make them the traditional way I usually make them and of course I thought I would share it with you.
Without further ado, here is the preparation of this delicious dish full of vitamins🥰🤤.

Preparación | Preparation

✨ Lo primero que hago siempre es agregar en un bolw las lentejas que haré en este caso dividí ese empaque de 400Gr en 2, es decir utilicé solo 200gr y coloqué a remojar con suficiente agua por una media hora (como mínimo) luego frote y lave muy bien a modo de retirar algunas de sus conchitas, hecho esto agregue en una olla con el doble de agua cubriéndolas además de agregar la sal (al gusto) y lleve al fuego alto.

✨ The first thing I always do is to add in a bowl the lentils that I will do in this case I divided that 400Gr package in 2, that is to say I used only 200gr and put them to soak with enough water for half an hour (at least) then rub and wash them very well to remove some of their shells, then add them in a pot with twice as much water covering them and add salt (to taste) and bring to high heat.

✨ Pasados unos 25-30minutos de haber estado hirviendo agregué la mitad de una zanahoria cortada en cubos miy pequeños, junto con una papa tambien cortada en finos cubos.

✨ After about 25-30 minutes of boiling I added half a carrot cut into very small cubes, along with a potato also cut into fine cubes.

✨ Mientras seguia en cocción las papas y zanahoria, preparé los aliños cortandolos finamente (el cebollin, pimentón, aji, cebolla y cilantro). Luego en un sartén agregué un poquito de aceite y una vez calentó agregué dos dientes se ajo previamente triturado, sofreí unos minutos y agregué el resto de los aliños junto con una cucharadita de condimentos (color y condimentos variados que disponía en casa).

✨ While the potatoes and carrots were cooking, I prepared the seasonings by finely chopping them (onion, bell pepper, chili, onion and cilantro). Then in a frying pan I added a little bit of oil and once it was hot I added two cloves of garlic previously crushed, fried for a few minutes and added the rest of the seasonings along with a teaspoon of condiments (color and varied seasonings that I had at home).

✨ Agregue el sofrito de aliños a las Lentejas y dejé cocinar por unos 10 minutos más a modo que se concentrará bien todos los sabores, ya una vez estan habían tomado un poco de consistencia pero no quedando tan espesas, las retiré de fuego y están listas para servir.

✨ Add the sofrito de aliños to the lentils and let them cook for about 10 minutes more so that all the flavors concentrate well, once they had taken a little consistency but not being so thick, I removed them from the heat and they are ready to serve.
