      Thank you Chef John. Your recipes are fantastic, but more importantly, you have given me the courage to try new things in the kitchen and now I really enjoy cooking dinner for my family. And my wife thinks it's funny when I imitate your inflection. That's how she knows it's a Chef John dinner.

      Hi Chef, I'm from India and we don't get tube or can based tomato paste so easily here. All we get is tomato puree in tetra packs. What can be the substitute for the paste in our case or can we cook out tomatoes on a stove till they are dry and then add them to make up for the paste part?

    How interesting! i'm from Syria (the middle-east) and we have similar dishes to this.
    We do have lentils soup, yogurt soup and tomato soups... but I never seen all of them in one dish. which isnt a bad thing. I might try it, something new after all.
    The only thing is, we definitely use mint but never fresh mint in soups, only dried. which gives a totally different flavor.
    anyways, nice video! interesting new ideas.

      I've been making dal soups for 45 years, similar to this one. Red lentils are easiest to find in a mainstream market, along with brown and de Puy. But I've got chana, urad, masur, mung, toor. My original recipe came from "Lord Krishna's Cuisine," which is pretty definitive on vegetarian Indian cooking, very respectful of food and subtle, delicate flavors. I toss a few red bird peppers into mine. Chef is right, red lentils are very pretty. And they're so cheap, easy, and fast cooking. You should all try it!

  • @dennisjames5076
    @dennisjames5076 4 года назад +1

    Love this. Instead of the yogurt at the end, I added the lemon juice and lemon zest directly to the soup. Also added sunflower seeds when serving and a little nutmeg on top. Very easy and quick to make. This is going in my weekly rotation.

    You have every reason to be excited. This is the best soup I've ever made/eaten (and I've made lots of great soups). I discovered your recipe four days ago and have made it twice since then. Such a delicious blend of flavours and balance of heat and sweet that I can't imagine anyone with taste buds not loving it. It's a meal in itself and as easy and enjoyable to prepare as it is to eat; the colours and aromas as it cooks are intoxicating. Thanks for posting another great recipe. As a former restaurateur/chef, I love your approach to cooking.

    This is my favorite Turkish recipe. I use diced onion and carrot in the first step, and skip the celery. I fully blend it before serving for a gorgeous warm orange color. We serve with a dash of dried crushed mint on top with a squeeze of lemon and drizzle of chili oil, instead of yogurt. Easy, fast, and always a show-stopper. I also recommend using pul biber (turkish aleppo pepper) in place of cayenne here. It gives it a deeper flavor you don't want to miss.

    I just made this and onto the yogurt dressing I also added the juice and the zest of a lime... This is BY FAR the most delicious soup I have ever tasted or made. I never knew lentil can be so yummy and the ingredients used in this soup are a no brainer, super cheap and basic but full of flavour, nutritious, delicious and comforting. I only made a small pot just in case I didn't like it, enough for 2-3 bowls... Guess who's making more tomorrow? :) ... Thanks Chef John, you're awesome!!!
    Edit: I just re-made this soup in a huge pot, my husband that is not into soups, absolutely loves this soup, so that tells a lot! Yummy and easy to make goodness! :)

    😋
    Those who tried it with the minty-lemony yogurt were quite surprised at how well it paired together.
    I’ve been asked to add this meal to the regular rotation of go-to meals.
    Thank you Chef- from the whole family,
    Blessings ~
    * I used plant based butter and vegetable broth.
    For those interested, Country Crock has some great plant based butters available now- in stick form. I love using Miyoko’s butter, but I only buy it when it’s on sale- which is not often, or I’m just not catching it on the sale dates. I only use it when I’m trying to perfect my Mac & Cheese recipe- - I know, it’s a hopeless battle😢

    I made this recipe last night, like an hour after you posted it. Excellent!
    I only had Beluga or Indianhead lentils (although I was absolutely certain that there had to be some red ones in the cupboard.) but went at it anyway. Yes, the color is not the strong point of that dish then, but it tastes amazing.
