January Eating

The More With Less cookbood is my bible for simple, cheap eating. Rich food has its place, but after days and days of non-stop seafood and donairs last December, I started craving simpler food. And this soup recipe is one of the simplest.These are the basic ingredients: lentils, onions, garlic and lemon juice. Here's what you do: Boil lentils with cumin. Fry onions and garlic in olive oil. Add a tablespoon of flour to coat onions. When lentils are cooked, add the fried onions and lemon juice.

Garnish with yogurt, and you got yourself some damn fine soup. Lentils rule!
