Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to med-low, cover, & simmer until the lentils are soft, about 30 min.3. Pour half of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, & carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth & pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender & puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Do not puree all of the soup, leave it a little chunky.4. Stir in the lemon juice & cilantro, then season to taste with salt. Drizzle with olive oil & a sprinkle of chili powder to serve.Serving Size: 4 ServingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LFERGUSON0.
