Turkish Red Lentil Soup (Kırmızı Mercimek Çorbası)

Very tasty. I used a vegetable stock pot for the broth. All out of Aleppo chilli, so just used ground Indian chilli (which might take away the Turkish element I guess).

Will definitely make again, but might keep it unblended, as a lot of my soups look like orange porridge.

The chilli and garlic oil topping is great, as is the dried mint and butter topping that is often used with this type of soup.

Sesame seeds and seaweed make nice toppings.

Some leftover tomato soup was reinvented with the addition of beans (haricot, was out of chickpeas) and canned mackerel, which works remarkably well in soup. It's not overly fishy at all.

Dried thyme, white pepper, hot sauce.

I've made enough cabbage soup to feed a large Ukrainian family! 😂

Very loosely based on this recipe, but there's no room to fit the beans in. I'll do that when I portion it out, and will freeze some.

Currently making: lentil soup.

Half of the lentils, green, some red lentils, + tomato puree to the aromatics, a bit of smoked paprika along with the regular paprika. Very good!

Courgette and pea soup.

Potatoes, *spinach, lemon juice, *coriander leaf. Green AF and delicious.

Poached chicken breast made the stock.

I can reimagine this with Indian spices.

The "nutritionally rich" label is marketing bogus. I even messaged Sophie Morris on Insta about it 😂

Cauliflower. I'm not a fan of the stuff, mainly because of the texture, BUT I might attempt this soup:

Decided to try this. I find that it has too much of its own identity. It's kinda curryish and it comes through the dish. I like a stock to be flavourful but neutral, if that makes sense. I made a lentil, potato and spinach soup and despite there being ginger, garlic, cumin and chilli in it, I could still distinctly taste the curry flavour of the stock coming through. Not sure what I'll use it up in. Back to the knorr stock pots, I'm afraid. I was hoping this would be cheaper with less packaging.

Kinda incredibly, in the soup, Mrs Beer was able to pick out fenugreek as an ingredient and sure enough, it's in the list. Perhaps a crazy fluke but I was very impressed. I'm not sure I really know what fenugreek tastes like. I did smell dill, alright, as soon as I opened the pot. I don't like dill so I can detect it in minute quantities.

It is quite strong and herbal, I would use only a small amount. The ingredients list seems clean enough, which is what appeals to me.

Real ingredients and Irish company appealed to me. Unfortunately, though, I just don't like the flavour profile.
