HEALTHY HIGH PROTEIN Turkish Lentil Soup | Vegetarian Recipe

This red lentil soup is the most famous soup in Turkey! It's vegetarian, healthy and has a lot of protein and dietary fiber, thanks to the lentils.
It's also great during hot summer days: just sprinkle some refreshing lemon juice and enjoy your Turkish lentil soup! If you would like more rich and smokey flavors, top it up with some paprika-butter sauce, too.

Cant wait to try this! I've been looking for a high carb/low fat dish to supplement my high protein meals that's not just plain rice lol :D

Enjoy! Definitely sprinkle some lemon juice on top. And unless you'd like some heat, I suggest you opt for non-spicy smoked paprika for the butter sauce🔥🔥🔥
