Hello, All!

I came across this soup as a prepared dried mix and it's an
interesting mix of flavors. Tomato, lentil and mint. I haven't
tried the recipe below but it looks easy.

Ezogelin Soup

(Ezogelin Corbasi)

This is a very typical Turkish soup. Did you know that Turkish
people were used to drink soup in breakfast.



You need;



1 cup red lentil

1/2 cup fine bulgur

1 middle size onion

2 table spoons tomato paste

1/2 tea spoon hot pepper sauce or paste

2 table spoons olive oil

1 tea spoon red pepper flakes

1 tea spoon dried peppermint flakes

6-7 cups water

salt to taste





Peel, wash and mince the onion. Then place it in a soup pot. Add
olive oil and saute the onion.

Wash red lentil and add it to the pot together with bulgur,
tomatoe paste, pepper sauce and salt. Cook them until lentil and
bulgur are soft. Let it boil few minutes and then remove pot
from the heat.

Pour soup in plates and decorate top with red pepper and
peppermint flakes. Serve it hot.

It is for four servings.

Interesting. I wonder if a smidgen of peppermint essence would work in
place of the flakes. e.
