Lentil soup or mercimek corba in Turkish, is a delicious and good for you soup!
What you will need:
- 1 cup of orange lentils
- 1 medium size carrot
- 1 small potato
- 1 small onion
- lemon
- oregano, black pepper, paprika and pepper flakes for flavour
- 1 and 1/2 chicken flavoured cube
In a 2 qt pot add the lentils, cut up onion, potato’s and carrot; fill with water and cook on medium heat till thickens and veggies are tender.
With a hand held blender, puree soup. I add as much lemon as I like, not too much just taste and adjust. I add 1 tsp oregano,1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp black pepper and a pinch of pepper flakes.
Love this soup, tried it for the second time today and its so good and easy to make.
