We had a craving for lentil soup and were intrigued by this recipe: https://girlandthekitchen.com/persian-lentil-soup/
Although we used chicken broth (4 cups unsalted, 4 cups Better Than Bouillon), this recipe easily could be vegetarian if made with vegetable broth. Although we try to use no-salt canned tomatoes, we used stewed tomatoes (which are seasoned and contain sodium) for this recipe. For the spice blend, we made our own baharat: https://piglettedc.wordpress.com/2023/10/01/middle-eastern-7-spice-blend-baharat/
This was quite delicious, with great depth of flavor. The texture was a bit thin, though. (Oct. 2023)
