Lentil Soup

Lentil Soup                                         From: Elsa Delacruz

1 lb. lentils    (Rinsed and picked through)

1 medium onion, diced

3-4 Roma tomatoes or 2 medium, diced

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped finely

In a large pot, place enough oil to just barely cover the bottom. Cook

onions until golden brown.  (Don't be shy with the onions.  The more

the better.)  Add tomatoes and cilantro to the onions.  Salt generously.

Stir mixture and cook thoroughly.  You should now have a good

mixture of golden onions, tomatoes, and cilantro with plenty of

salt.  Cook 5-7 min.  Add the washed lentils and plenty of water to

the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer until cooked.
