If you go to restaurant there are 2 types of mercimek corbasi one is red one a white-yellow colour...that green i think is only home made. That yellow coloured i think its made from red  lentils but they dont put tomatoes paste

yellow lentil soup made by red lentil. I didnt try before green lentil soup. 

 Actually

You have red and green lentils, but when you boil the red ones, they open up and the soup becomes yellow coloured.

I think, regarding the colours,  some soups you might be mixing up are

- mercimek çorbasý (it looks yellow but it is made of red lentils)

- ezogelin çorbasý (it is also made with red lentils, but has a more red/orange kind of colour than the regular one)

- kulaklý mercimek çorbasý and varieties which are made with green lentils but generally have a very creamy colour.

The first 2 are the generally sold soups as a starter in simple restaurants, which are yellow and red/orange of colour.

I ate one time green lentil soup made in house but didnt like it....but im crazy for red one...Im sorry in my city i can hardly find and its not quality

I don´t know, possibly.  I put one spoon of acý biber salçasý and one spoon of domates salçasý in my kýrmýzý mercimek çorbasý, and still the colour is yellow after you get it through the blender.

 I like dishes with green lentils, but nothing beats the general red lentil-soup!! (I dont like ezogelin though, it generally has too much peppermint in it).

well im rather hungry reading all this Have you tried borak I think its spell right...its rather yummy and i would like to try and make it myself i just dont have the recipes? so if anyone has a good one then please tell me thanks...

I do like this: i boil the lentil with 1 onion..i use to put also fresh tomatoes. After boiled i made it with mixer. In a pan I put a little oil and add pul biber,mint..when oil gets coloured i put 1 soup spoon of salca and mix ir...I add this at the soup i fix to be enough watter and let it boil..I also add a small piece of lemon. and salt of course. This is the way im doing it
