PERSIAN-STYLE RED LENTIL AND TOMATO SOUP



Persian-Style Red Lentil and Tomato Soup image

This tangy soup is low-fat, quick and easy to prepare! It is a copycat-of a-copycat recipe from the soup served at Reza's, a Persian restaurant in Chicago (so called because I have never been to Reza's, but once had someone else's imitation of it!). Sumac powder and dried limes can both be found at Middle Eastern groceries or ethnic stores.

Time 45m

Yield 14 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
kosher salt
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder or 2 tablespoons garam masala
2 quarts chicken broth or 2 quarts homemade vegetable broth
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans petit-diced tomatoes
