ARABIAN YELLOW LENTIL SOUP
This is very easy to make and doesn't take long, so it's great if you've had a long day and just want something hot. It is less heavy than the European lentil soup, and is often served as an appetizer. Goes well with crispy garlic bread. Optional: For extra flavor fry a finely chopped onion until almost golden before adding the other ingredients. The recipe works fine without the onion. This just gives it an extra kick.

Steps:
- Simply place all the ingredients, except the lemon juice, into a pot and let them boil until the lentils are well cooked.
- Some people prefer to smoothen this with a blender while others like to still see the lentils, so this part is up to you.
- Add the lemon juice just before serving.
- (I have met people who prefer the soup without the lemon juice, so you might want to try it out on a small portion first to see which way you like best).
- For Vegetarian option use Vegetable broth.

Steps:
- Warm the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minute.
- Stir in the garlic, turmeric, ginger and cumin. Cook, stirring often to keep the garlic from burning, another 2 minutes.
- Add the lentils, rice and stock. Mix well to combine. Cook about 30-35 minutes until the lentils are soft.
- Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Turn off the heat and move the pot off of the heat source.
- Use an immersion blender to process until you reach your desired consistency. Tip: You can also transfer the soup to a traditional blender if needed. Just make sure to only blend the soup and in batches making sure not to overfill the blender open the lid of the blender carefully and away from your face as it will likely be steamy.
- Alternatively, you can enjoy this as a chunky soup without blending if you prefer.
- Taste and season as you see fit (more salt, lemon juice, etc). Don't be afraid to add more lemon juice as it really makes this soup pop! Serve and enjoy.
