Tina's Lentil Soup

Tina taught me this super easy soup recipe when I was just starting to cook.
I still make it quite often, and everybody just loves it. Try it!

Ingredients:
2 big onions, diced
1 cup of orange lentils
1/4 cup of egyptian rice
5 cups of water
1/2 broth cube
a good lug of oil
salt & pepper

Preparation:
Heat a non sticky pan (lentils stick!) with a lug of oil, add the onions and the salt right away (the salt brings out the flavor of the onion).
When the onions are light brown, add the lentils, the rice, the water, the broth, and the pepper.
Keep on medium fire with the cover half open and give it a twirl every once in a while, adding water when the soup becomes thick.
The trick is to start tasting it after around 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are tender.
The texture should be medium thick, so don't be afraid to add as much water as needed to get the texture you want!

Enjoy and please do comment if you try it :)
