Arabian Lentil & Rice Soup

Good evening on this day of the Snowpocalypse!

Today, I decided to make a soup.  It is kind of a perfect day for it, no?  In any event, the recipe is from Appetite For Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz (http://www.theppk.com/books/appetite-for-reduction/). 

This is another recipe that calls for onions, and I left them out, as usual.  The rest of the recipe stayed the same.  It uses some ground cumin and ground coriander, as well as some chopped carrots, red lentils, brown basmati rice, and lemon zest & juice.  I bought the red lentils and brown basmati rice from the bulk section at Whole Foods.  It saves a lot of money, and you only need to buy what is necessary to successfully make the recipe! 

I like the book this recipe came from because 1. it has a lot of delicious recipes and 2. it lists the nutritional information for each recipe which is always handy when you are on a diet (I am not).  In addition, the paragraphs/explanations before each recipe contain humor in them, which is always a delight.

Below are a couple of pictures of the soup and the book.

As always, thank you for reading!
