Directions:
- Put the lentils, one of the onions, and the garlic into a large saucepan with 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then let simmer for about 30 minutes, until the lentils are very tender and pale.
- Stir well to get a smooth texture.
- Then add some lemon juice (start with 1 tablespoon) and some salt and pepper until it tastes just right, and serve.
- If you want to make it spicier, fry the other onion in a little oil for about 10 minutes, until it's crisp and lightly browned; add the ground cumin and stir for a few seconds longer.
- Pour this mixture over the top of the soup just before you serve it.
