EGYPTIAN YELLOW LENTIL SOUP
This recipe is adapted from Magda el-Mehdawy's book My Egyptian Grandmother's Kitchen. Lentils are a very ancient food staple, and have been the basis of diets in the Middle East for millennia. To perk up the flavor of this soup, cooks often add a spritz of lemon juice to each serving at the last minute. Note: Ghee is available at Middle Eastern markets. Yellow lentils are actually orange when you buy them in the package, but they quickly turn yellow when cooked. Unlike brown lentils, they take very little time to cook.The amount of cumin can be adjusted to taste

Steps:
- In large skillet over medium heat, heat ghee. Working in batches of 6, sauté pita pieces until crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Wash lentils well in several changes of water until water runs clear. Drain. In large saucepan, combine lentils and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add tomato, potato, carrot, and salt and bring to boil. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, skimming any foam that forms on top.
- Remove from heat. Strain, reserving cooking liquid. In blender, purée solids, adding enough reserved liquid to make mixture smooth. Set aside.
- In medium pot over moderately high heat, heat corn oil. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add puréed lentils, beef stock, and cumin. Simmer until soup thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with fried bread wedges.

Steps:
- Wash the lentils in a large sieve or colander set under cold running water, until the draining water runs clear.
- In a heavy 4 to 5 quart saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over high heat. Add the lentils, onion, tomato and garlic, reduce the heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 45 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the chopped onions and, stirring frequently, cook for 10 minutes, or until they are soft and deeply browned. Set aside off the heat.
- Puree the soup through a food mill or pour the entire contents of the saucepan into a sieve set over a deep bowl and force the ingredients through with the back of a large spoon, pressing down hard on the vegetables before discarding the pulp. Return the soup to the saucepan and, stirring constantly, cook over low heat for 3 or 4 minutes to heat through. Stir in the cumin, salt and pepper, and taste for seasoning. Just before serving, stir in the remaining.
- 3 tablespoons of butter.
- To serve, ladle the soup into a heated tureen, sprinkle lightly.
- with the reserved browned onions and serve the lemon wedges separately.

- In a large saucepan, cover the lentils with 5 cups of stock. Add tomato, potato, carrot, and salt and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming any foam that forms on top.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 2 minutes, then turn the heat to medium-low and cook until golden and caramelized, about 8 minutes. The onions should not be burnt. Stir in the cumin and turmeric, cook 1 minute. Set aside.
- Remove the lentil mixture from heat and purée using a hand-held immersion blender or in batches in the regular blender. Add to the onions and spices along with the 3 cups stock, if you prefer a thicker soup, add less. Bring soup to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, topped with the pita chips and parsley or cilantro.
