Arabic Lentil Soup

Back in February, Dan and I visited some of our family in Alabama. During our trip we went to a Jerusalem Cafe where Dan had some lentil soup. When we came home he asked if we could find a recipe to try making it. I found one and we made it a few days later. Unfortunately it turned out horrible and we didn't attempt it again for quite a while. Recently I found this recipe and gathered up the courage to try it. It turned out great and is now in our cookbook with the rest of the recipes we make all the time!

Ingredients
1 cup yellow lentils
2 tbs butter
1 onion, sliced
1 tomato, finely diced
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
3-4 cups chicken stock
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
coriander or parsley to garnish
Directions
Rinse and soak lentils in water overnight. 

When you are ready to make the soup, drain the water out of the lentils.  In a pan, heat butter until it melts. Add onions and cook over medium heat until it JUST starts to caramelize. Add the lentils, tomato, cumin powder, chili flakes and stock. Boil for around half an hour or until the lentils are cooked. You can adjust the stock amount depending on how thick you want the soup to be. When cooked, run the soup in a blender until completely smooth. Season with salt, pepper and lemon. Garnish with coriander and enjoy!
