I am so grateful for your website, thank you thank you! My husband is Turkish and this is our first Ramazan together. I’m doing my best to learn a lifetime of my husband’s way of life in a short period time. When I found your blog I was so incredibly happy and it is truly a blessing. I will learn much on here. Take care and many blessings to you and your loved ones during this sacred time of Ramazan.

wa ‘alaikum as-salaamu ladies. Please let us know how the soup turns out and perhaps some of the changes you made. Aaminah you wrote,

“I want to make a good impression and relate this to her in relation to the Shaykh”

What you can tell her is that, ‘Maulana Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Abdul Kerim Hazretleri eat green lentil soup similar to this when they are in spiritual seclusion (khalwat)’. It softens the heart and promotes energy for worship (zikrullah).

Asalaamu alaikum.

I meant to ask you what kind of bread this soup is traditionally served with? I am making the soup in my new Eid-gift-from-Mom crock pot this Wednesday inshaAllah. My mom is coming over to my new(er) apt for the first time to have this for dinner. I want to make a good impression and relate this to her in relation to the Shaykh inshaAllah too…

as salamu ‘alaykum

I tried this recipe today, with a few changes due to my style of not following directions exactly, and not having fresh parsley, etc… and it came out similar to the turkish soup I make.

I love red lentils, yellow lentils, and lentil soup.

I’m looking for a specific turkish recipe, though. I have tried a white bean soup at a restaurant here in my state that was lovely. Any idea what I am talking about? They serve it over rice and stuff, too.

Thank you for sharing. You allowed me to use my crockpot… which is something I rarely do.
