This soup is considered to be a tradition for breaking the ramadan fast in egypt and is a traditional middle eastern peace recipe". I got this from a middle eastern living blog and decided to share it since i was looking for red lentil recipes. Red lentils can be found in indian and middle eastern grocery stores. This awesome soup is vegan and quite healthy."
