Fahad Inc. Dishes

Shouroba addis~ Lentil Soup

1/4 cup rice
6 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
TO CARNISH:
1 medium onion sliced
1/4 cup corn oil
1/2 cup parsley

Wash the lentils and rice. Chop onion finely and crush the garlic. Combine all ingredients in a soup pot cind boil gently for 1 to 11/2 hrs. When done, remove from heat, leave to cool slightly then puree in the blender. For garnish: Brown the onion in the oil and add to soup mixture. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the soup and serve immediately.
