This Turkish lentil soup from the Vitaquick® Premium is a real feel-good dish – aromatic, creamy, and prepared in no time at all. The classic Mercimek Çorbası is given a modern interpretation here and refined with succulent shrimp. Thanks to the pressure cooker, red lentils, potatoes, and carrots are cooked particularly gently and intensely in flavor – and all in just a few minutes of cooking time.

Harissa and tomato paste provide a pleasant spiciness, while thyme and rosemary add Mediterranean notes. Fresh lemon juice gives the soup a fine freshness at the end and harmonizes perfectly with the shrimp cooked in the steam insert.

Whether as a light main course or an aromatic starter – this lentil soup in a pressure cooker is ideal for anyone who loves quick cooking with an oriental flair. Served with a little chili oil and Turkish yogurt, it becomes a real highlight on the plate.
