Açıklama:

A warm bowl of lentil soup is one of the most sought-after delicacies, especially in cold weather conditions. In this recipe, we made the traditional lentil soup a little more colorful and combined it with vegetables. Your soup will stand out especially with the wonderful taste added by dried mint, turmeric and cumin.

When serving this soup hot, don’t forget to add Berrak Pickled Baby Hot Peppers and croutons! The slight bitterness of the pickles and the crunchiness of the croutons will add a unique touch to the flavor of the lentil soup. Enjoy your meal!
