Maha's Lentil Soup image

Yes, another lentil soup recipe but this one looks really good. Compliments of Yankee Magazine. I am trying it soon. The recipe says to "Squeeze the lemons over the soup only after you've ladled it into the bowl. If the juice sits in the soup too long, or you reheat it, it ruins everything."
