Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 medium onions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons mild Hungarian paprika
1 1/2 cups red lentils, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup fine bulgur wheat
10 cups vegetable or beef stock, approximately
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 tablespoons dried whole mint leaves (sold in Middle Eastern and Greek shops)
Lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat butter in large pot over low heat. Add onions and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add paprika, lentils and bulgur and stir.
  • Add stock, tomato paste and cayenne and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until lentils are tender and bulgur is creamy, about 40 minutes. Add a little more stock if soup gets too thick. Crumble dried mint leaves and stir into soup.
  • Remove soup from heat, cover and set aside 10 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint.
