Here Is How You Make Dal Soup

• Wash the moong dal or masoor dal, whichever you prefer, and soak it for an hour to soften it a little as it gets easier to cook in lesser time.
• Roughly chop the onions, tomatoes, and garlic cloves. 
• Do add ginger as per your wish as that gives a distinct taste.
• Opt for ghee instead of oil to reap the health benefits. 
• Now take a pressure cooker, throw in the dal, tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, ghee, and pressure cook for 10 minutes with 1 glass water or depending upon how thick you want it. 
• Once it cools down, transfer all into a blender and run it through to make sure all have pureed. 
• Now, in a saucepan, put the soup and add black pepper powder, some salt as per taste, hing if you wish, and add water if you want it to be thinner. Give it a boil and then serve.
