Legend has it that this soup was first created by a widowed woman who, despite her limited resources, became famous for making delicious, filling meals from basic, inexpensive ingredients like lentils, chickpeas, and homemade noodles (erişte). The combination of spicy, tangy flavors and hearty staples made this soup a staple in the region.
With green lentils, square noodles and spinach orchard, this soup is packed with nutrients and flavor. A spicy kick from pul biber (Turkish chili flakes) and a tangy finish with fresh lemon or bitter orange (turunç) juice. A traditional Turkish soup, perfect for warming you up on a cold winter day!
