Today I want to share with you, our number one soup; lentil soup. 🍵 I have never met anyone who doesn’t like this soup. It was one of the five dishes I loved when I was a child. It is very easy to make, cheap, nutritious and keeps you happy and warm for along time. Plus, with small tricks you can turn this soup into a fulfilling main course with low calories! ►SUBSCRIBE ► ►► ►CHECK OUT OUR TURKISH CHANNEL ► ►► ►CHECK OUT OUR TURKISH VIDEOS W / ENGLISH SUBTITLES ► ►► ► Our Etsy Store for International Shopping: ►Uluslararası Alışverişlerıçıçış 6 Easy -8 lar ı -8 Prep time: 3 minutes Cooking time: 15-20 minutes 2 cups red lentils 8 cups water 1 large onion, roughly chopped 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken stock 1 heaped teaspoon salt • Rinse the lentils for about two minutes under cold running water to remove any excess dirt and starch. • Place the lentils and onion in a medium sized pot and fill with the water. • Boil for 10-15 minutes until it becomes a thick puree. • Collect the white foam forming on top while boiling. This foam gives the soup a grayish color and makes it harder to digest. • To make the meyane (roux), melt the butter in a pan and add the flour. • Cook for a couple of minutes until it smells like roasted nuts and becomes light brown. • Pour in the chicken stock into the pan and whisk constantly. • Add the mixture to the soup and season with the salt. • Lastly, blend the soup with an immersion blender till the texture becomes creamy and smooth. Your velvety lentil soup is ready and it is such a good base that you can top with many things and turn the soup into an incredible meal. For the classical one, top with red pepper flakes and squeeze some lemon. In Cyprus, it is really common -and delicious- to add black olives to soup and adding croutons is always a good idea. You can always sprinkle some roasted kadayif instead of croutons. If you want your soup as a main coarse, top with some meatballs, red beans and coriander. For a lighter version, salad, croutons and some sesame seeds would be great! Last but not least, Bahar’s favorite – yogurt, black pepper, red pepper, olives and parsley ►To subscribe our Turkish channel: To follow what is happening in our kitchen and cooking school; Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: Website: The handcraft products that we use in our kitchen :.

Add a large piece of salt beef add double the butter and a table spoon on black pepper and you would have pease pudding … my family's been eating this more than 400 years in newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦🇬🇧
It was good but all i could think about, as i was eating it, is how ridiculously crazy it reminded me of a pureed version of Canadian split pea soup!! (not taking into consideration the various suggested toppings for this lentil soup)
I was given 20 pounds of lentils and have been looking for something to do with them. What a perfectly timed video! It is cold here in the US and this has now become my GO TO cold weather soup! Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!!!!!
Yummy. We made it and topped it with olive oil, lemon, pepper, olives and fried kataifi. It was so simple yet so delicious. The onion and nutty flavor of the butter shines through.
I wonder if you have considered printing any of your cookbooks in English? Your food is great!
I think today is the day for your soup because I just saw in the news it’s snowing in Istanbul
All the love from Canada
I tried it today, it was very tasty. Thankyou
Tried it, great recipe, this is a bit of a personal preference but I prefer olive oil or sunflower oil, butter makes it too heavy for me and the flavor is a bit much. Will make it again though.
is it just my computer or does your soup look green? like split pea soup?
All recipe ar very nice ❤👍🏻🤝love from zaika plates stay connected mam
Thank you again. It looks great. Your hummus recipe is a family staple and people ask for it when they visit!! I’ll be trying this one too
This is also Cooked in Lebanon! It’s true all kids and adults like it and very healthy! We put cumin – a lot of cumin and lemon. Try it with fried kibbeh.
Just made it.. Had a big bag of lentils hanging around! Absolutely delicious! Next I'll try it with extra toppings.. even my son likes it! Thankyou so much xx
