How to Make Arabian Yellow Lentil Soup

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. If desired, add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté until softened and lightly golden (about 5 minutes).
2. Add 1 cup yellow lentils, 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the pot.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth (or partially smooth, according to your preference).
5. Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender). Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
6. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley (optional), and alongside crusty garlic bread.
