This soup is considered to be a tradition for breaking the Ramadan fast in Egypt and is a traditional "Middle Eastern peace recipe". I got this from a Middle Eastern living blog and decided to share it since I was looking for red lentil recipes. Red lentils can be found in Indian and Middle Eastern grocery stores. This awesome soup is vegan and quite healthy.

SERVES 3 , 3 servings (a lot) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup red lentil
3 3/4 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 dash cayenne
2 teaspoons lemon juice
olive oil, to drizzle

Directions

1
In a large saucepan, put the onion, lentils, veggie stock, the salt and pepper, and simmer about 30 minutes or until the lentils have really softened and somewhat disintegrated.
2
Add some water if the soup needs thinning.
3
Stir in cumin, turmeric, cilantro, cayenne, and lemon juice.
4
Drizzle some olive oil on to your liking and serve with toasted pita triangles.
