RED LENTIL SOUP WITH LEMON
This is a lentil soup that defies expectations of what lentil soup can be. Based on a Turkish lentil soup, mercimek corbasi, it is light, spicy and a bold red color (no murky brown here): a revelatory dish that takes less than an hour to make. The cooking is painless. Sauté onion and garlic in oil, then stir in tomato paste, cumin and chile powder and cook a few minutes more to intensify flavor. Add broth, water, red lentils (which cook faster than their green or black counterparts) and diced carrot, and simmer for 30 minutes. Purée half the mixture and return it to the pot for a soup that strikes the balance between chunky and pleasingly smooth. A hit of lemon juice adds an up note that offsets the deep cumin and chile flavors.

QUICK RED LENTIL SOUP
Sounds yummy and fast, a quick weeknight meal. The prep-vs-cook time is deceiving, as you are working while it is cooking; all told it will take you about half an hour, and you can squeeze in table-setting and salad-making while cooking this dish. Serve with a green salad and light vinaigrette and some crusty bread. I'm told the flavors meld even more for reheating next day. Adapted from America's Test Kitchen recipe.
