Ezo Bride's soup (Ezo Gelin Çorbasi)

2 cups dried red lentils, washed and drained

1 onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup white rice or bulgur, washed and drained

3 cloves garlic, minced (in a garlic press)

1 Tbs tomato paste

juice of 1 lemon

salt

freshly ground pepper

For the topping

3 Tbs butter

2 Tbs dried mint

1 tsp Aleppo pepper, optional

 

 

 

 

 

Place the lentils, onion and 8 cups water in a large pot and bring to

a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and skim off any scum or foam with a

slotted spoon. Add the rice, partially cover, and cook until the rice

is done, about 30 minutes. Add the garlic and the tomato paste,

mixing well. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and place

soup in large serving bowl.

 

In a small skillet melt the butter until it sizzles, remove from the

heat, and stir in the mint and Aleppo pepper, if desired, mixing

well. Pour over the soup and serve.

This looks very much like the soup I was thinking of, Chupa. Thank you

very much. I am meeting with my Sufi group for a meal tomorrow and I

really wanted to bring this soup to share.
