Turkish Red Lentil and Dried Mint Soup

Here is a comforting Turkish soup just like the ones enjoyed in Istanbul, especially in winter. Red lentils melt into a broth scented with dried mint and cumin, with a touch of lemon that awakens the taste buds. You will love its velvety texture and simplicity: everyday ingredients that turn into a warm dish. It is the perfect soup to start a meal or warm up on cold evenings. A true culinary hug to share with family.
