1. Sautee onions in the olive oil or butter until soft and translucent. 2. Add the stock, lentils, and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover partially. 3. When lentils are broken down and rice is almost cooked (about 10 minutes), add the Arabic seven spice, cumin, salt, pepper, and Aleppo pepper, if using it. 4. Simmer soup for another 15-20 minutes. 5. Turn off heat and then add the lemon juice. 6. NOTE: Add more stock or water to thin it out if it becomes too thick. At the correct consistency, you should be able to pour the soup into bowls. 7. Serve with crusty bread and additional lemon wedges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
