White Lentil (Urid) Chicken Soup

[Avrille]

This is an experiment to get some variety of soups in my kitchen ;)

You need:

4-5 cups of water

1 handful chicken meat (bony or not bony)

1 middle size chopped onion

1 cup urid lentils (white lentils)

1/2 cup vermicelli

1 Tbsp parsley

1 clove garlic

1/4 tsp turmeric

salt to taste (or a broth cube)

lemon juice

***

First thing to do is soak lentils overnight fully covered by water - they'll soften & grow a little.

Cook chicken meat with some water in a covered pan for 10 min, add chopped onion & salt (broth), cover & cook on low heat for 10 min, add garlic, all requiered water & proceed cooking till you see lentils ready (if you want mushy lentils, start cooking them before you add onion - add all requiered water together with lentils then), add vermicelli, simmer till they soften a little, add spices & serve with some lemon juice.

in case you wonder what these lentils are, here's the pic
