Lentil lemon soup

When I went to visit Istanbul with my friend Sarah some years ago,
I remember eating delicious lentil soup with squeeze of lemon.
It became my favorite soup and I ate this soup often during the trip.
In Istanbul any diner like places served the lentil soup.
Last year I found the recipe of this lentil lemon soup.
It is really easy to make. It is vegetarian and highly nutritious.
It is a good source of protein, dietary fiber, iron and potassium.
I am happy to add this recipe to my recipe collection!
