Ezogelin çorbası (red lentil, bulgur and rice soup with mint and paprika)
Legend has it the soup is named after Ezo, a bride from Gaziantep. More rustic than mercimek çorbası: it isn't blended smooth, the bulgur and rice give it body.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Rinse the lentils, bulgur and rice together.
- Cook the onion in the oil until translucent, then stir in the tomato paste and pepper paste, and fry for 1 minute.
- Add the lentils, bulgur and rice, pour in the stock, and cook covered over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils break down and the soup turns creamy.
- Stir in half the mint, and season with salt and pepper; if too thick, thin with hot water.
- Melt the butter, stir in the pul biber and the remaining mint, and drizzle over the soup once ladled into bowls. Serve with lemon.
