SUMMARY:Make Ezogelin Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alp to make a Ezogelin (based on this recipe from Refika Birgül) \nEzogelin soup is one of the most loved and probably the most frequently consumed soup recipes in Turkish cuisine.  But Ezogelin soup is often confused with lentil soup.  And although both are made with lentils\, they are very different soups. Lentil soup is made with only lentils\, while bulgur and rice\, or sometimes just one\, is added to Ezogelin soup along with lentils. While lentil soup is smooth\, Ezogelin soup is grainy. \nAfter completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \nEzogelin Soup\nIngredients\n\n4 Tbsp butter\n8 Tbsp olive oil\n4 medium-sized onions\, roughly chopped\n4 medium-sized potatoes\, roughly chopped\n4 carrots\, roughly chopped \n4 Tbsp tomato paste\n4 Tbsp red pepper paste (if you don’t have it\, add more tomato paste)\n4 cups red lentils\, washed and rinsed\n2 cups chicken stock \n7 quarts of hot water\n1lb (2.5 cups) bulgur\, medium or coarsely ground\, is better\, but all would work great\n4 teaspoons salt\n4 teaspoons paprika\n4 teaspoons black pepper\n12 teaspoons dry mint\nAdd lemon juice to taste when serving\n\nInstructions\n\nHeat pot on high heat\, melt the butter and olive oil. Add the onion\, potato and carrot when the oil is hot. Cook\, stirring often for 5-6 mins. Add the tomato and pepper paste and stir for a minute.\nAdd the lentil and pour the chicken stock and 6 quarts of water. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 minutes.\nAfter all ingredients are cooked (when the lentil and vegetables are soft) blend the soup with an immersion blender until it is smooth.\nAdd bulgur\, salt\, paprika\, black pepper\, dry mint\, and the remaining water (about 2 quarts) into the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and stir continuously on low heat.\nYour delicious ezogelin soup is ready. \n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
