Place the olive oil, butter, and onion in a soup kettle, set over low
heat and cook until the onion has softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium, add the carrots and stir-cook for 1
minute. Add the celery and stir-cook for 1 minute. Add the green
pepper and stir-cook for 1 minute. Add the diced potato, cumin,
chili powder, and allspice; stir-cook for 1 minute. Add the herb
bundle, lentils, and chicken broth; bring to a boil, then boil for 1
minute. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the lentils are
tender. The soup may be prepared in advance up to this point.)
Season the soup with salt and fresh pepper to taste and discard the
parsley-bay leaf bundle. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and serve
steaming hot.
Makes 4 to 5 servings.
