04Add lemon slices, stock, tomatoes, cayenne, salt and pepper.

05(you can add salt and pepper later, but it's usually added now).

07Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot and simmer for about 45 minutes (it may only take 30 minutes) or until lentils are tender.

08If you like your soup thin, add more stock.

09Take the pot off the burner, discard lemon slices, and puree soup in blender or food processor.

10Season if you have not already added the salt and pepper.

11Sprinkle with coriander (cilantro leaves).

12Alternatively, you can add the cilantro before you put the soup in the food processor.
