Green Lentil Soup with Noodles

Wash the green lentils and boil them in a pot with enough water to cover them. Drain the water.

Chop the onion into small pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a pot, add the chopped onion, and sauté until it turns golden.

Add the tomato paste and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.

Add the boiled green lentils and 6 cups of water to the pot.

When it starts to boil, add the noodles.

Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Cook over medium heat until the noodles are soft.

Serve hot. It goes great with a slice of bread on the side.
