I'm north African, this recipe is usually vegan, we add carrots for taste and color. Some people add potatoes for thickness. On the spices, we add turmeric, black pepper, cumin and coriander, ginger and cayenne are okay to add to preference, we don't add cinnamon though. The topping sounds more turkish than North African.
Here in Greece we use whole lentils for soup, lots of onion, garlic, bay leaf, oregano, tomato passata, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, olive oil, served with a chunk of feta, and some rustic bread, tastes like heaven!
I think it’s ridiculous when I go to look at the recipe it’s not fair you have to sign up
When I lived in southern Macedonia, (now called North Macedonia) we used the garnish you made over toasted bread. Similar to Italian garlic bread.Also I didn't want to open a can of tomato paste for a tablespoon, so I put in a tomato I already had. Amazing. If you are out of mint, its the same stuff in the tea bags.
Why do you have to pay to glance at the recipe on a different website because it isn’t if you click on ^menu; link to the recipe and they hide because they want you to pay to glance at their recipe.
This is so good! I use vegetable broth instead of chicken and olive oil instead of butter for the garnish. I've made it a few times and it's always delicious.
I followed the instructions, but my soup did NOT thicken up. I had to broil the fluid off and whisk every 3-5 minutes.
Really needs a hand blender not just a whisk.
Why do not write down all ingredients name?
I’m 67. I’ve hated lentils all my life. My mother made them when I was a kid. I hated the flavor so much that I would wait until she wasn’t looking, then I would wrap them in a napkin and stuff them in my pockets so I could throw them away later. Imagine my surprise, while visiting Turkey. Lentil soup is served in most restaurants. I reluctantly tried it. To my shock, they were absolutely delicious. I ordered and ate it a few more times. When I go back home I intend to make my own lentil soup.
2 tbsp butter
I just made this soup, 3x the recipe, so so so good! I made vegetable broth from scratch instead of chicken broth too, topped it with olive oil with mint and paprika instead of butter, some nigella seeds and pumpkin seeds. Served with French baguette. Everyone loved it, a must try! ❤️
This was delicious. Thanks to some comments below as it really helped. 1. I had an herbal mint tea. Chopped the mint and lemongrass w/i bag. 2. Added minced carrot before adding onions. I only had a red onion and it worked. 3. I did use 1/2 butter y 1/2 evoo 4. Added pinch of kosher salt and sq of lemon into paprika mix 5. Topped with sprinkle of parmesan 6. Served with garlic bread
You omitted one important step: RINSE those lentils thoroughly before adding to the pot.
I LOVE lentils! This soup looks simple but so delicious. Can't wait to try this recipe!! Thanks!
Thank you for telling us about the red lentils and how they have their skins removed. Love how you share your knowledge as you cook! Cooking this tonight and am so excited to try it. Thank you so much! You ladies are great together!🌼🌷😊
Erin covered everything in her great presentation of this soup; what a great soup!
I just tried this. I added fresh, finely chopped sage and some left over Thanksgiving turkey for some body. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
I have made this many times and love it, as do my friends. So easy and so good!
I know love lentils more than ever. So rich and creamy, tasty and hits the spot on chilly days or evenings. Love it !!! Tom in Minneapolis, MN 11/10/19
