Turkish red lentil soup
A quick nourishing lunch!
Ingredients:
250 g dried red lentils
2 T olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 T tomato paste
1 t ground paprika
Red pepper flakes, a pinch
8 cups vegetable stock
1 lemon, juiced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon and chilli flakes to garnish
Method:
Rinse the lentils and drain well. Gently heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and carrots and cook until softened but still pale, adding more olive oil if necessary. Stir in the garlic.
Add the tomato paste, paprika and red pepper flakes. Stir in the lentils, then pour in the stock. Bring to a simmer, then cook gently, half-covered, for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are very tender.
Blend until smooth. Garnish with chilli flakes and squeeze of fresh lemon juice
This soup is smooth and lemony with a bit of a bite thanks to the paprika, chilli flakes and red pepper. It's comforting and filling – one of my favourite winter warmers.
