We can't get enough of this easy, versatile soup that comes together in just half an hour. It features red onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, and red lentils that are flavored with whole cumin seeds as well as ground coriander. Top it off with some fat-free Greek yogurt and fresh cilantro for an additional level of creaminess, texture, and color. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before eating really gives lots of brightness to this hearty soup. This recipe was designed to serve one, but feel free to scale up the ingredients and saucepan size if you want to make it for dinner for the family or to entertain a crowd.
