- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion chopped

- 1 teaspoon salt

Frying dry mint with oil
In a saucepan, heat up a 1/4” of vegetable oil/olive oil. The oil is ready for frying once it sizzles. Drop a few mint leaves in at a time and fry for 10-15 seconds on each side or until the leaf takes on a stained-glass look.
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
Saute onion until golden. Add tomato paste and cook for a minute.
Add in carrots and potatoes and cook for a couple of minutes.
Pour in the water and bring the soup to simmer.
Add the red lentils, salt, Turkish red pepper and black pepper. Stir well and cook for a minute.
Cook covered on medium heat for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes until the lentils are completely cooked(Vegetables should be soft).
Blend the soup in the blender or using an immersion blender until it's creamy and smooth.
Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon and fry mint oil sauce
