Though this was posted before, I´ll add my version as well. Catwoman can try and decide 
Ingredients:
- 1 big cup of red lentils (about 200 grams), rinse untill the starch is gone
- 1 onion (medium sized or big, however you prefer the taste of onion to be profound), chopped
- 1 medium sized carrot, grated
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1,5 spoon of (real) butter (use olive oil if you prefer it less fat, but I think butter tastes better)
- a little bit of flour
- 1 table spoon of tomato or hotpepper paste
- 1 tomato, cut in cubes
- cumin, black pepper, red pepper, isot, salt
- 2 tablets of chicken bouillon (I didn´t find chicken stock here so I use these, wouldn´t know how much chicken stock you should put)
- 1,5 liters of water
Preparation:
- melt the butter in a pan and add the onions, fry them but don´t let them get too golden or they will burn 
- stir in well the tomato/pepper paste
- add the crushed garlic
- add the cumin, black pepper and a bit of flour and stir well
- add 1,5 liters of water and stir in the lentils
- add the grated carrot and cut tomato
- dissolve the tablets of chicken bouillon
- once it boils, close the lid
- cook the soup untill the lentils are soft (in a high pressure cooker this will take between 15-25 minutes)
Run the soup through a blender untill it is all nice and smooth and homogeneous. If you like to have pieces to bite, only put half of the soup in a blender and then mix with the rest.
- Taste and add salt after you blend the soup
- Add red pepper and isot according to taste
If you like this to be a more filling soup, you can add potato as well (cut very small or grated), but then you´d need to use a little more water. You can also slice a green pepper slightly and add.
Goes well with thick yoghurt and raw onion.
Afiyet olsun!
