Directions
Middle Eastern Red Lentil Soup, This recipe is a family tradition that my mother recieved from her mother who recieved it from her mother, all the way back It is a easy quick soup to make that is very filling and very delicious Its great with some pieces of bread thrown in , I have the feeling that one or more ingredients are missing from this recipe Moreover, the spice ombination is rather unusual in Middle Eastern Cooking, certainly in a lentil soup, and it is an unfortunate one since it it imparts a strongly medicinal and unbalanced flavor to the soup I would have expected at least one or two large onions and perhaps some tomato and double the lemon juice in this soup plus perhaps some (Ceylon) cinnamon or even cloves to ameliorate and warm the flavors of the other spices In any event, there is far too much spice and salt in this recipe, especialy if one uses fresh, high quality spices , This recipe is a family tradition that my mother recieved from her mother who recieved it from her mother, all the way back It is a easy quick soup to make that is very filling and very delicious Its great with some pieces of bread thrown in
