Our most regular Ramadan soup:

4 cups water

1 cup red lentils

1 big onion

1 big tomato

1-2 cloves garlic

2 Tbsp parsley (or chives)

salt to taste, spices (cumin, pepper) to taste

- poor water in a cooking pan, put spices in, cover the pan & let it simmer on low heat.

- wash & rinse lentils, put into the pan & let them simmer on low heat.

- meanwhile chop onion & tomato, chop or press garlic, add all into the pan, remove the top & bring the veggies to a boil.

- when this happened, lower the heat, cover the pan & let the mix simmer till lentils slightly lose their integrity (you have to check it out from time to time, usually lasts 10-15 min)

- add parsley or chives & salt, stir & remove from the heat source.

...Sahtein!

I think what she (practicingislam) was asking is if you used any chicken cube to season it?

It looks very good mash'Allah

I have an 3das recipe here... Yours look very tasty, I would like to make this too, a different way of making the soup... I will bump mine up If I can find it... I don remember if I have pics or not... just so you can see it.
