Mmm soup is good food. Here's one I just ate. Pretty fast and easy too.
Middle Eastern Lentil Soup
Middle Eastern Lentil Soup
Known in the Middle East as Chorbat el Ads, this is a 'cooks-itself', hearty, delicious soup.
Total : 50 min
Yield : Serves 6
Ingredients
1 tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups of red/yellow lentils
8 cups of chicken/vegetable stock
1 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
Juice of half a lemon
Directions
Heat oil in a pan and gently fry the chopped onions for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped garlic, turmeric and cumin and continue cooking for a few minutes more.
Stir in the lentils, add the stock and cook for 35 minutes. Stir several times during cooking, especially towards the end, to prevent lentils from sticking to base of pan.
Toss in parsley, stir in lemon juice and leave to cook for 2-3 minutes more.
No blending is necessary unless you want it really smooth.
Serve with chunks of crusty bread.
