Egyptian Red Lentil Soup

I tried my hand at cooking lentils for the first time with this recipe.

Lessons learned: don’t rinse red lentils and set aside. They will harden extremely quickly and you’re going to have to use your hands to pry them loose. Add salt generously, and don’t be shy with the chile! Since I’m a saltaholic, I added gourmet blackened salt with the yogurt and lemon.

Verdict: This healthy soup is delicious and great for leftovers!
