Directions

In a saucepot bring the stock, Egyptian Spice Crunch, diced tomato, carrots, preserved lemon, and black pepper to boil.
Simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils and carrots are tender. The soup is thick and hearty so if a brothier soup is preferred feel free to add up to 2 more cups of stock or water.
Garnish the soup with fresh cilantro or other similar soft herbs like parsley, dill, or basil and enjoy!

If you don’t have Egyptian Spice Crunch in your collection yet, ½ cup of fried shallots and a quarter cup of cooked and drained lentil would also be great to substitute until the order arrives.

To make the thin slices of carrot, I used about one carrot and my trusty mandoline.
