View ProfileThis is a traditional Spanish lentil soup made with a vegan twist. Chef Miguel's comforting soup starts with his take on the classic sofrito, infused with spices like cumin and paprika for smoky spice. That gets stewed with lentils, herbs, and a flavorful soup base until the lentils are tender. It’s filling, warming, and perfect for winter.

For as long as Chef Miguel Galan can remember, he has observed his family in the kitchen of their family restaurant in Madrid, preparing traditional Spanish dishes and classic tapas.
After finishing his university film studies, Chef worked for several years as a sound engineer in many films, never leaving behind his passion for cooking, art, and colors. One day, he decided to leave the cinema and return to what has always been his passion, cooking.
He began traveling through several countries, spending several seasons in restaurants in Barcelona, London (The Little Taperia, named best tapas bar in London in 2016), Bristol (working in Chef Jaime Oliver's kitchen), Amsterdam, and Ibiza.
In 2016, Chef Miguel Galan relocated to Los Angeles and became fascinated with the culinary offerings and the possibilities of learning new techniques and recipes. Above all, he began to study food as a form of healing. He became passionate about learning about superfoods, ancient grains, mushrooms, and algae. He began applying them to his recipes with known flavors and ingredients that can promote health. In this manner, he started working with private clients in their kitchens, preparing special diets and looking for ways to help with various health problems. His cuisine is international, with flavors from the Mediterranean and Asia, always making colorful, healthy dishes with balanced flavors.
