2 small onions, chopped
1 cup uncooked lentils, red or green
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup long grain brown rice, uncooked
4 cups boiling water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
a sprinkle of paprika and a few grains of cayenne to taste
Saute and deglaze the onions in a little water. Add 2-1/2 cups water and the lentils and rice and bring to a boil. Cook until the lentils are done (about 20 minutes) and then add more boiling water until the soup reaches the consistency you like. Cook until the rice is done (about 20 more minutes for brown rice). Add the seasoning to taste.
