1

Pick through the lentils and rinse them well along with the rice. Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash and finely chop the parsley.
2

In a pot, combine the lentils, rice, and water. Bring to a boil, then skim off any foam from the surface. Add the salt and cumin, then reduce the heat and simmer until the ingredients are tender.
3

Meanwhile, sauté the onion in the vegetable oil until golden. Once the soup ingredients are cooked, add the sautéed onion to the pot. Let it simmer together for 5 minutes, then add the parsley and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat—the soup is ready.

Serve hot or cold, as you prefer. Enjoy!
