VEGAN TURKISH RED LENTIL SOUP
This delicious red lentil soup is super easy to make and full of flavor. It's vegan as well -- win/win! My dad combined a few different recipes over the years and this one was decidedly the winner. It's been made by many people throughout the family and is always met with great compliments! Cannot emphasize enough that you really need to use red lentils for this recipe as it's key to the taste. If you can't find them in your regular grocery store, they are always in stock at the nearest Indian food market. Best served with your favorite freshly baked bread!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add thyme sprigs, garlic, cumin, and bay leaves; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
- Add vegetable broth, tomatoes, red lentils, tomato paste, oregano, remaining salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Cover partially and simmer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are very soft and falling apart, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Let soup cool briefly, about 10 minutes. Transfer 4 cups of soup to a blender; blend until smooth. Mix back into the saucepan. Stir in water. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with chopped parsley and a squirt of lemon juice.

TURKISH RED LENTIL SOUP
I was going nuts looking for the perfect red lentil soup recipe that had just the right spice blend after enjoying it immensely at my favorite local Turkish joint and getting a bit bored with my standby lentil soup recipe. This is based on various Turkish lentil soup recipes with my own flair. It didn't come out exactly like the tasty soup at Turkuaz, but it did come out good enough for me to keep making it!

Steps:
- Combine everything into a pot, and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat, loosely cover the pot, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the lentils have completely softened.
- Let the soup cool for about 5-10 minutes (you can also cheat and just pop the pot in the fridge or freezer for a couple minutes while catching up on work and texting, like I did!).
- Pour the soup in a blender to puree it nicely.
- After pureeing, I sometimes like to pop in a can of big white beans like great northern beans, navy beans, cannellini, or butterbeans with a little fresh cilantro if I happen to have any on hand. These are found in piyaz, another delicious meze.
- Garnish with lemon and/or fresh mint, and serve with some delicious pitas, toasty Turkish bread, or sigara bourek!

- Before you start cooking I suggest that you keep your red split lentils to soak for 20-30 mins. This will soften the lentils so that they cook faster. At the same time, it ensures that the lentils are soft, which in turn will help you to digest the lentils easier. You can skip that step if you are short on time and if you have an instant pot/pressure cooker.
- Prepare all your vegetables before you start out cooking. This will help you in your cooking flow.
- To get cooking, pour the olive oil into a shallow cooking pan and fry your onion slices soft. Then continue to add in the tomato and garlic as well as the carrot pieces.
- Then season with paprika and cumin powder and add a tablespoon of tomato paste. Stir fry the whole content on low to medium heat.
