This is a very nourishing and healthy soup for the variety of its components. Excellent for veggies.
~ Ingredients ~
Put enough water to cover lentils in a large pan and bring to boil; meanwhile wash the lentils
and drain. Place the lentils in the water with all other ingredients except
the spices. Keep the lentils boiling until well cooked and mashed. You may need
to add some water if necessary.
2 cups yellow lentils
1 large onion or 2 medium size
1 large tomato
1 squash
2 medium size carrots
1 whole garlic head very well washed without peeling
3 Mastic
2-3 cardamon seeds
1 tsp cumin
1 tbsp ghee or butter or corn oil
brown bread
Take away from the stove and beat all in the mixer. Bring back to the pan through
a sieve and put it back on the stove on low heat. Season with salt, pepper and cardamon.
In a separate pan heat fat. Add the mastic and stir until it melts.
Pour ghee and mastic over soup and bring to boil. Remove from heat.
Cut bread into squares and fry in some butter until browned. You can grill bread
in the oven without butter to cut on fat.
Bread is served in a separate plate and added to the soup just before eating
to remain crisp.
Serves 4-6.
