2 tb Paprika

1) Soak overnight 1/3 cup flour in 1 cup water; 1/2 c lentils in water to cover. Brown in lightly oil deep pan lamb, onions, saffron and paprika (increase or decrease according to taste).

2) Add 6 cups of water, soup bones, butter, salt, pepper, chick peas with skins popped off and discarded, and the dried broad beans which have been washed and cleaned. Simmer, covered, for 2 hours or more.

3) 20 mins before serving, pour through a food blender into the soup pan (or blend with one cup of water) the tomatoes, parsley, coriander & the flour and water paste. Add 3 cups of water, and when it returns to boil, add the vermicelli.
