Mahluta Soup – A Delicious Red Lentil and Bulgur Soup
Mahluta soup is one of my favorite soups. When I was only three or four years old, when my mother asked what would you like to eat for the evening, I would answer it as mahluta soup. Of course, we can think that my fondness for Mahluta soup stems from my love for soup and my love for red lentils.
