    Hearty and healthy, this soup makes a superb lunch or dinner on a chilly day. And it keeps for many days in the fridge, becoming ever more and more tasty. I love how that this soup is both incredibly easy and satisfying all at once. True comfort food. I didn’t add meat to this lentil soup, but feel free to add diced pork or beef if you prefer.

    If you are in need of a good bowl of soup to warm your soul this winter, this Green Plantain and Lentil Soup should serve you well.

    Buen provecho!

      I am so happy to have found your blog! I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. I came to USA at the age of 5, and have been here ever since. I grew up in NYC but now recide in Vermont. The Hispanic community here is very small and it's sometimes hard to find plantains and other Colombian staples, but once in awhile I find them, and I stock up! Lol! Thanks again .
      Have a great weekend! Que Viva. Colombia!
      Sincerely , JOSEPHINE ECHENIQUE-CAYCEDO

      Hi Erica from Spain
      Sorry but lentils just don't do anything for me, I prefer potatoes. For me, we can't beat Ajiaco bogotano with its three types of potatoes, sweet corn, chicken and, most importantly, guascas. Food from the heavens; maybe not quite that high, but fairly high (nearly 9,000 feet) in the Andes.

      When do you put the tomatoes in? I didn't see that in the instructions. I'm assuming it's with the lentils, platanos, onion mixture and broth? Thanks!
