Red lentil soup

Ingredients (serves 4)
- 200g lentils
- 3 peeled tomatoes
- one onion
- one teaspoon of turmeric
- one teaspoon of cumin
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- chilli powder to taste

Method:
Drizzle a pan with a little oil and brown the onion and the cumin. When the fried onion starts to give off a spicy aroma, add the lentils and brown for a few minutes.
