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.
