Pine Lantern Soup (serves 4)
From the invented Harbor House kitchen notebook.

1 onion, diced
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup dried red lentils, rinsed
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 lemon, juice only
salt: amount never written down

Pan note: soften onion in oil, about 5 minutes. Add paprika, lentils, broth. Bring to a boil; simmer until the lentils are soft (how long? I forgot). Finish with lemon. Season with salt to taste, but leave the original missing amount flagged.
