Steps:
- Pair this soup with a salad and bread for lunch or a light supper. 1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in broth, water, and lentils and bring to simmer. Simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until lentils are soft and about half are broken down, about 15 minutes. 2. Whisk soup vigorously until it is coarsely pureed, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and extra lemon juice to taste. Cover and keep warm. (Soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Thin soup with water, if desired, when reheating.) 3. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in small skillet. Remove from heat and stir in mint and paprika. Ladle soup into individual bowls, drizzle each portion with 1 teaspoon spiced butter, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve.
NORTH AFRICAN LENTIL SOUP
Great for a light supper! Serve with a crusty baguette spread with some roasted garlic, a tossed salad with wild baby greens and a balsamic vinaigrette and you're on your way! Make a double batch and the leftovers freeze well, too.

Steps:
- Bacon is optional. To make a vegetarian dish, start by cooking the onions. Chop bacon into 1" pieces and cook in a large cast iron pan over medium heat. After the bacon is cooked a little more than halfway, add olive oil, chopped red onions and garlic. Once the onions are cooked through, add the spices - coriander, cinnamon, cumin and then salt and pepper. Let everything cook for another 5 minutes - keep an eye on the heat and don't let it get too hot. Add water and lentils. Lower the heat a little bit and cover the pan. The type of lentils used determines cooking time. Some cook faster and require more water than others. Keep the lid on while the lentils are cooking. If using slow cooking lentils, stir every 10-15 minutes and keep an eye on the water level. After the lentils are cooked, add halved cherry tomatoes and hot sauce. Put on low heat for another 5-10 minutes. The tomatoes can also double as a garnish if kept on top. Serve in bowls with pita bread on the side. When reheating, you may need to reconstitute with water.
NORTH AFRICAN SOUP (VEGETARIAN)
A vegetarian version of an African favorite. If you want to make it non-vegetarian, chunks of lamb or beef can be added. Just brown them with the onions.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven type pan over medium heat. Fry the onions until tender in the olive oil.
- Stir in the paprika. Add about 1 cup water to prevent onions and paprika from burning.
- Add carrots, garlic, tomato paste, tomatoes, cilantro (or parsley), turmeric and cinnamon and more water to cover.
- Simmer until the carrots begin to get slightly tender; add the potatoes and more water, if necessary, to cover. Simmer for about 1/2 hour.
- Add garbanzo beans and lemon juice. Adjust the amount of broth by adding more water if necessary. Simmer until beans are heated through.
- Adjust flavor by adding salt and pepper, if needed.
- Divide between 2 large bowls and garnish with cilantro or parsley.

LAUREN'S LENTIL SOUP (NORTH AFRICAN STYLE)
Surprisingly good from a surprising combination of ingredients. I can't take the credit, this is a merging of Recipe #328053 by Sidney Mike and Recipe #215773 by Chef Bggio. The first time I made this, the top flew off my blender, even though I was holding it down, and I made a hot mess all over my kitchen cabinets! What I learned is that when the ingredients in your blender are hot, the air at the top expands quite forcefully, so be ready! Now when I go to blend the soup I actually keep one corner of the blender lid slightly raised (still holding tight with my hand) so that air can escape when I push the button.
