Authentic Egyptian Red Lentil Soup

    It was delicious! I made a batch to split in to portion sizes to take for lunch at work over the week. I topped it with a dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro (even though I added some as it was cooking). It made three lunch sized servings, and I would guess it cost me about $2 a serving, so a great economical and tasty option for lunch.
