TURKISH RED LENTIL SOUP (KIRMIZI MERCIMEK ÇORBASI)
This is true comfort food that tastes like a cross between Cream of Wheat and Lentil Soup. Try to get the red lentils because they cook quicker and lend a lovely orangy color to the finished soup (the lentils cook to a yellow, but the tomatoes make it orange). This soup is usually served before a meal with a dollop of yogurt or tzatiki sauce swirled in.

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring to a boil 10 to 12 cups of water; add lentils, 2 teaspoons salt, cover and reduce heat, letting simmer for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat another pot, over medium heat, and add onions, cover with olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt; once it begins to sizzle, reduce heat to low and cover for about 5 minutes.
- To the second pot, add bulgur, pepper, cayenne, and cumin; stir until lightly browned.
- Add tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, and 4 cups chicken broth; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
- Pour the contents of the second pot into the large soup pot with the lentils; cover and simmer until the bulgur and the lentils are soft, about an additional 40 minutes.
- You may add additional water if you like a thinner soup (as we do).
- Stir in lemon juice or vinegar; serve a dollop of yogurt with each serving, if desired.

- . Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the kirmizi biber (red chili powder), stir with a wooden spoon and sizzle for 30 seconds. Keep an eye on the pan because the powder can burn pretty quickly (it’ll turn dark and bitter and you’ll have to start again).
