Turkish lentil soup

Description

The recipe won't take much time. I should mention that my glass holds 250 ml. This soup can be served with croutons. I often serve it with garlic croutons or just small buns. Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro) are also a nice addition when serving. If you like spicy dishes, you can add more curry or a mix of universal Indian spices.
