This lentil soup was always made by grandma after Christmas. She used to say 'lentils bring money', so we ate it with a big slice of bread and with faith that the next year would be prosperous. But even if it wasn't - the taste would be worth it.

1
Preparing lentils
Rinse the lentils and let them soak in water for at least an hour. Then cook them at home (about 30 minutes).
2
Base
Sauté the onion in oil, add flour and make a light roux. Sprinkle with paprika, stir and pour in water from the lentils.
3
Finishing
Add cooked lentils, bay leaf, marjoram, and garlic. Season with salt, vinegar, and a little sugar. Finally, add sour cream and simmer for a few more minutes to blend the flavors.
4
Serving
Serve with a slice of fresh bread or with a piece of smoked meat or homemade sausage.

TIP
Sometimes I make it with sausages or sausage, but sometimes completely without meat. But it must always be slightly sour - just like grandma used to cook it.
