Ezogelin Soup

Ezogelin Soup

Ingredients:
• 1 cup red lentils
• ¼ cup fine bulgur
• ¼ cup rice
• 1 onion
• 1–2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (I used olive oil to sauté the onion)
• 4–5 cups water (adjust depending on desired consistency)

For the sauce:
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon dried mint
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon red pepper powder (I used sweet)
(Spices can be increased or reduced to taste.)
• ½ cup boiling water

Instructions:

First, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until they soften.
Add the washed bulgur, rice, and red lentils, then pour in the water and let it cook. If the soup becomes too thick after cooking, add 1 more cup of hot water.

Separately, prepare the sauce by heating the oils, adding tomato paste and spices, and finally the boiling water. Pour the prepared sauce into the soup, mix well, and it’s ready to serve.
