I found this at a vegetarian Middle eastern recipe site & it was different enough to submit for my own NA*ME cookbook.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup lentils, rinsed
7 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup white rice, uncooked
1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

1
Place lentils and water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Cover and cook over medium heat for 25 minutes.
2
In the meantime, in a frying pan, heat oil and sauté onions and garlic until they turn golden brown. Stir in remaining ingredients, except lemon juice, and sauté for another 5 minutes.
3
Stir the frying pan contents into the lentils and bring to boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until rice and lentils are well-cooked. Stir in lemon juice and serve hot.

I love this recipe but I make this more like a stew as a complete meal than as a soup. I add three diced carrots, three stalks of celery, and two potatoes, red split lentils (no need to soak) and brown rice. Plus a tsp of cayenne, and sometimes I don't bother with the lemon. It is my favourite winter dish and so handy because I can bring it to work and rest assured that I am actually eating some protein!

Delicious! We loved how lemony it was. I used less salt and doubled the cumin and coriander. In addition, I added about a cup of carrots (I was all set to add them thinking they were in the recipe - so just did anyway!). I think this soup would be great with tiny cubes of potato in it too. Thanks for this yummy and healthy recipe!

EXCELLENT and HEALTHY and full of FIBER! I used brown lentils and added brown rice when they started cooking. I sauteed the spices with the onion and garlic when they were nearly done. I added 1 tbsp of hungarian paprika. This was sooooo delicious with sourdough bread dipped in it. Thanks for this KEEPER recipe! Made for the NAME tag game.

This is now a regular soup in my household and now my sister and mother have started to make it too! I put in lots of fresh lemon just before serving and it really brings out all of the flavours. Delicious!
