Turkish Lentil Soup

This thick, hearty brew is perfect for when you need soup-as-a-meal. It can also be as spicy as you like – go nuts with the chilli flakes, or tone it down for tongues that prefer a milder version.

Either way – don’t forget the fresh lemon!

4. Check for seasoning, then serve in big bowls with extra chilli flakes, lemon wedges and chopped parsley.
