morganadk2_deleted

NAME OF RECIPE: Red Lentil Soup (Shourba Ads in Arabic) from Middle Eastern Home Cooking by Tess Mallos

INGREDIENTS:
Red Lentils - Dried, 1.5 cup;
Chicken broth, 6 cups;
Small Yellow Onion, grated;
Ground Cumin, 1 tsp;
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Lemon juice, 1 tbsp

DIRECTIONS: Rinse lentils well in a sieve under cold running water. Bring broth to a boil in a large soup pot. Add lentils and onion. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender (about 30 mins). Do not stir during cooking. The lentils should have collapsed into a puree; for a finer texture, pass through a sieve or puree in a blender.

Add cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in lemon juice and heat gently. Then serve!

CALORIES PER SERVING: 129 calories

HOW MANY IT SERVES: 6

OPINIONS ON HOW IT TASTED, ETC: This is a family favorite in my house. It has the consistency of split pea soup. It's not much to look at, but it tastes so good on a cold day. My husband would eat it everyday if I made it that often! It is so easy to make and I've never had anyone not like it!

PICTURE (optional):

Looks delish, simple to make, warm for the Winter...what's not to love! Plus the cost is kept low:drinker:
