In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
Stir in the lentils, bulgur and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and partially cover with a lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 45 minutes. If the soup appears to be getting to thick add more water to thin to desired consistency.
Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, half the parsley, and half the mint. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.1
Stir in the remaining parsley and mint and the lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper and lemon juice, if required.
