Start by washing the red and yellow lentils thoroughly.
In a pot, add water and the washed lentils, then add a little salt and tamarind.
Chop the onion and peel the garlic; use 2 or 3 garlic cloves.
If making non-vegetarian soup, you can add chicken, mutton, beef, or pork.
Bring the lentils to a boil, then cover the pot partially with a lid.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the boiling lentils.
If desired, add bacon, chicken, carrots, or potatoes for extra flavor.
After boiling, use a hand blender to puree the soup until smooth.
Add turmeric and adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper.
For thickness, add nutmeg and butter to the soup before serving.
Serve the soup with lemon, pasta, red cabbage, or mashed potatoes as a combo meal.
