A delicious plant-based soup with a Syrian inspired twist.
1 cup split red lentils (I used 2 bags ready-to-eat brown lentils in this photo, rinsed, and skipped boiling step)
4 cups water
2 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tbsp salt
2 tbsp oil
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
Crushed red pepper, to taste
Lemon juice, to taste
In a pot, heat the garlic and spices in oil to bring out the flavors. If using bagged brown lentils, give a rinse and place into pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook about 25 minutes.
