Red Lentil Soup (Middle Eastern Style)

Ingredients:
Red Lentils (3.5 cups)
Water (10 cups)
Onion (1 med)
Carrot (1 med)
Parsley (dried 2 tsp)
Garlic (3 cloves)
Chicken Bouillon (5 cubes)
Turmeric (2 tsp)
Cumin (2 tsp)
Salt & Pepper
Lemon Juice (2 tsp)

Directions:
Dice the onion and carrot and garlic into small pieces.

Rinse the lentils and remove any debris.

Put the lentils, bouillon, onion, carrot, turmeric, cumin, parsley, and garlic in the pot with the 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. Add the lemon juice and salt/ pepper to taste and continue cooking until lentils have fallen apart. You may put soup into a blender to get a smoother consistency or serve as is.

Enjoy!

Note: This makes a lot of soup so use a large soup pot or reduce the amounts by half.
