Ingredients:

- 1 ½ cups of lentils, washed thoroughly until the water runs clear

- 1 tablespoon of rice

- 6 cups of water

- A pinch of salt

- 1 cup (tea glass) of olive oil

- 2 medium onions, finely chopped

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin (heaping)

- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander

- 1 teaspoon of paprika

步骤

Instructions:

1. **Cook the Lentils:**

- In a pot, combine the lentils, rice, water, and salt.

- Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming off the white foam that rises to the surface.

- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

2. Prepare the Oil and Spices:

- Heat half the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

- Sauté the chopped onions until golden, then add the minced garlic.

- Stir in the cumin, coriander, and paprika, mixing well to release their aroma.

- Turn off the heat and set aside.

3. Combine and Blend:

- Add the onion and spice mixture to the pot with the cooked lentils.

- Pour the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice into the pot.

- Using a hand blender, blend the soup slightly to achieve a creamy texture, leaving some lentils whole for texture.

4. Serve:

- Adjust seasoning if needed, and serve the soup warm with bread or your choice of side.
