LA CHORBA TURQUE AUX LENTILLES -- SOUPE IS LOVE

Let's give credit where credit is due... Chorba is a Turkish word that literally means soup, and you only need to trace the Ottomans to find numerous versions of this soup (North Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East, Asia...). The lentil version is, of course, a must, especially during Ramadan. Highly nutritious and vegetarian, it's one of the most popular soups in the world (even in Groslarland!). Enjoy!
