In soup pot, saute onions in 2 tbsp. broth until softened. In blender or
food processor, combine tomatoes with their juice, spices and cliantro.
Puree until fairly smooth. Add to onions. Simmer covered 5 minutes. Add
lentils, wheat berries and broth or water. Cover tightly. If using
crockpot, set on medieum heat 8-10 hours, or low heat overnight. On stove,
simmer until wheat is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. About 15 minutes before
serving, add garbanzos. About 10 minutes before serving, beat egg with
juice of one lemon. Reduce heat to simmer; stir egg mixture into soup until
forms strands. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, squeeze juice of
remaining lemon into soup bowls before ladling in soup.
