@heykarabae: Mercumek is so easy and so delicious! One of my favorite soups ♥️ and perfect for this cold weather 1 yellow onion 1 carrot 1 potato 2-3 cloves of garlic 2 cups of red lentils 1 tablespoon of cumin 1-2 tablespoons tomato paste Water I dont usually add this butter but saw different versions of it on TikTok so I decided to give it a go! I liked it! 1-2 tablespoons Butter (I eyeballed all of these) 1 tsp or so of dried mint 1/2 tsp or so of paprika Dash of cayenne How I made it: Sauté onion until slightly browned. Add the carrot and potato and cook for a few mins. I like them to get a little color as well. Add your garlic and cook for a couple of mins. Add the tomato paste and cook until slightly darker in color. The add the washed lentils. Add water (enough to cover and you can always add more) Taste the broth and adjust seasoning. Ones everything has softened, blend and add more liquid to reach your desired thickness and adjust the seasoning. Melt the butter and add the spices. Top with plenty of lemon and more black pepper. ♥️♥️♥️
