Ezogelin soup with chicken is a chicken-enriched version of a well-known Turkish soup, usually made with red lentils, bulgur, rice, tomato paste, onion and herbs. Recipes vary, and the chicken may be simmered in the broth or added as shredded meat.
It is typically thick and gently textured, with a savoury, tomato-rich flavour lifted by mint, spices and a squeeze of lemon. In Turkey it is commonly served as a starter at lunch or dinner, often with bread; it also makes a comforting light meal on its own. Lentils and bulgur contribute fibre, while chicken adds protein: a 100 g portion has 4.1 g of protein. For a lighter bowl, keep the added oil modest and serve with lemon and fresh herbs.
