Lentil soup is a beloved staple in Turkish cuisine, celebrated for its comforting flavor and nutritional benefits. Typically made with red lentils, onions, carrots, garlic, and tomato paste, the soup is flavored with spices like cumin, paprika, and pepper flakes, creating a rich and savory experience. It often features lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish and is served with crusty bread. Lentils are high in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, folate, and magnesium, making the dish a wholesome choice. Its lack of heavy fats and modest calorie count contribute to its appeal as a healthy meal option. However, sodium content can vary depending on preparation, particularly with store-bought broths or seasoning. This hearty soup is a wonderful way to enjoy Turkish flavors while nourishing the body.
