What is Spicy Ezogelin lentil soup?
Spicy Ezogelin lentil soup is a Turkish soup made with red lentils, bulgur, rice and spices. It is especially associated with southeastern Turkey, and recipes vary from kitchen to kitchen. The lentils soften into a hearty base while the grains give the soup extra body; chilli or pepper paste brings warmth rather than a single fixed level of heat.
In Turkey it is usually served hot, often with lemon and bread, as a first course or a simple meal. You may find it in home cooking and lokantas, as well as Turkish restaurants abroad. It offers carbohydrates and fibre, with relatively little fat; each 100 g provides 3.3 g of protein. For a lighter bowl, use less oil and adjust the chilli to taste.
