Put lentils on the stove with water and chopped onions.

Add stock and bring to a boil.

Cook until the lentils crack and open.

Make a roux with butter and flour, mixing until it turns light brown.

Add the roux to the soup before it burns, along with salt.

Add bulgur and salt, cover, and let it boil until the lentils become a puree.

Grind the soup to make it silky smooth, leaving the bulgur intact.

For a rice soup, boil 150 grams of rice in a liter of water for 15 minutes.

Mix egg yolk and flour, then temper with hot soup before adding to prevent curdling.
