Turkish Style Lentil Soup (Mercimek Çorbası)
I’ve always wanted to try this soup — I absolutely love it! This is my simple version of the classic Turkish lentil soup. Hoping to try the more authentic one soon, but for now, this cozy bowl hits the spot.
Ingredients:
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 potato, chopped
• 1 tomato or 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp oil (olive oil works best)
• 1 cup red lentils (rinsed well)
• 4–5 cups water (adjust for preferred consistency)
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp cumin powder
• Salt to taste
Comforting, hearty, and made with love ❤️
