It\u2018s made with simple, nutritious ingredients and is perfectly suitable for anyone following a plant-based diet. Although, it contains a little butter, this could easily be traded out for a vegan alternative and of course vegetable broth used instead of chicken broth. With a couple minor tweaks you have a deliciously tasty vegan lentil soup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-80086\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4.jpg\" alt=\"Pot with Spicy Red Lentil Soup with Bulgur, Red Pepper &amp; Mint e\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4-216x324.jpg 216w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-1-of-4-696x1044.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Key ingredients for this Red Lentil Soup<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red lentils<\/strong> have a lovely sweet, nutty flavor and are brimming with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/food-features\/lentils\/#:~:text=Lentils%20are%20low%20in%20sodium,their%20effects%20on%20chronic%20diseases.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential vitamins<\/a>, minerals, protein and fiber. Plus they are a great choice if you want to make a soup with a creamy texture \u2013 without the cream. Once they are cooked, and have a chance to soften up, they tend to break up quite easily, so they\u2019re perfect for making <a href=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/en\/moong-dal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian dal<\/a> or thickening up hearty soups and stews.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bulgur<\/strong> is a form of par-cooked wheat and it is great for thickening up a soup or stew and has a deliciously satisfying texture, making it a great choice for both soups and salads. It can be added to this red lentil soup directly or rinsed beforehand to remove some of the starch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong> in the form of dried or fresh mint. I tend to use fresh mint when making this lentil soup recipe since I don\u2019t usually have dried mint on hand. Traditionally, this Turkish soup is seasoned with dried mint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red pepper paste<\/strong>, also called <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42gzwxk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">biber salcasi<\/a> (found in well-stocked supermarkets or Turkish markets), adds a rich flavour to the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon<\/strong> is a important finisher for this soup as the fresh flavor and acidity balances out all the flavours and simply makes the soup taste better. It\u2018s not to be skipped. It could, however, be replaced with a different acid, such as vinegar if preferred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-80090\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4.jpg\" alt=\"Spicy Red Lentil Soup with Bulgur, Red Pepper &amp; Mint\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4-324x216.jpg 324w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Tuerkische-Linsensuppe-mit-Bulgur-Rezept-4-of-4-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to serve this Turkish Red Lentil Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Lentils and bulgur make for a filling and hearty soup \u2014 it\u2018s a meal in itself.
