      Recipe is created for
      TM 6
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

This is a delicious authentic Spanish recipe for lentil soup that can be found all over Spain. It's really easy to make, healthy and absolutely delicious. It's probably not traditional, but if you want to boost the protein content, I sometimes serve it with a sliced boiled egg on the top.

It's also nice sprinked with parsley to serve.

I also tend to season it quite aggressively at the end, but season to your taste.
