@foodiligence: New York Times Top 50 Recipes of 2025 | Chicken and Red Lentil Soup by @nytcooking @andybaraghani Ingredients - 3 tbsp olive oil - 2 large onions, thinly sliced - 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs - 1½ cups red lentils, rinsed - 1 tsp ground turmeric - Salt & black pepper - 1 cup mixed herbs (parsley, dill, mint) - 1 cup plain full-fat yogurt (regular or Greek) - 2 tbsp lemon juice Steps: Heat oil in a large pot and cook the onions until deeply caramelized, then add the garlic and soften it. Add the chicken, lentils, turmeric, salt, and plenty of pepper, tossing to coat everything. Pour in 8 cups of water, bring to a boil, then simmer until the lentils break down and the chicken is cooked. Shred the chicken, return it to the pot, and stir in the herbs, seasoning to taste. Mix the yogurt with lemon juice and a bit of salt (thinning with water if using Greek yogurt), then serve the soup topped with a spoonful of the lemony yogurt. #Recipe #cooking #nytcooking #lentils #soup

I made this, but substituted Lima beans because I had no lentils, omitted the oil because it was just too much, and used ground turkey because I don’t like chicken. It’s a terrible recipe, never again. Do better NYT cooking!

I made this recipe. Followed it EXACTLY. It’s absolutely delicious. I’ve already shared it with my adult daughter and it will be on repeat over the winter. For those of you that don’t like it but substituted 1 million things try following the recipe.For those of you that don’t like your lentils mushy, don’t cook them as long.

Sorry to bean soup yall, but has anyone subbed in another vegetarian protein for the chicken? I didn’t want just a lentil soup but is there something else I could add? Or maybe just cauliflower?

this is like the budget version of haleem. if you liked this try haleem which has a similar base but is richer and far more flavourful

Born and raised in Russia, Eastern Europeans always top their soups with yogurt or sour cream, it’s so funny to me how Westerners are only discovering this now 😄

I have found that NYTimes food was missing or lacking. not enough fat in the mix. fat is flavor.

Just made it tonight! He's right - the herbs are very important and the mint doesnt take over like you might think. However, the star of the show is the yogurt. The lemon and dairy really changes this from a heavy dish to something tangy and bright
