RED LENTIL SOUP WITH CLOVES
I found this in a slow food cookbook I borrowed - it originates from one of my favorite chefs - Madhur Jaffrey. I needed some more recipes using red lentils, and this came at a convenient time.

Steps:
- Put the lentils, water, turmeric, cloves, ginger and garlic into a large pot and simmer, partially covered, until lentils become soft, 45 minutes to an hour, or use a pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time.
- Remove the cloves (in the bouquet garni) and puree the soup with a hand blender, or in a blender.
- Season with salt, pepper and lime juice, to taste.
- Saute the bread cubes in a bit of olive oil until slightly browned and crisped and drain.
- Serve the soup with the bread croutons and lime wedges, on the side.
- Enjoy!
RED LENTIL SOUP WITH LEMON
This is a lentil soup that defies expectations of what lentil soup can be. Based on a Turkish lentil soup, mercimek corbasi, it is light, spicy and a bold red color (no murky brown here): a revelatory dish that takes less than an hour to make. The cooking is painless. Sauté onion and garlic in oil, then stir in tomato paste, cumin and chile powder and cook a few minutes more to intensify flavor. Add broth, water, red lentils (which cook faster than their green or black counterparts) and diced carrot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Purée half the mixture and return it to the pot for a soup that strikes the balance between chunky and pleasingly smooth. A hit of lemon juice adds an up note that offsets the deep cumin and chile flavors.
