SHORBAT ADAS(MIDDLE EASTERN LENTIL SOUP)

Shorbat Adas(Middle Eastern Lentil Soup) image

This healthy soup is enjoyed throughout the middle east, and although simple in preparation and ingredients, is a very flavorful soup. Adas is considered a main dish mainly because it is so filling, and is usually eaten with pita bread and lemon on the side. I use Ziyad brand red lentils, they are very very small and cook up quickly(see posted picture), so if you cannot find them, and use a bigger red lentil you may need to adjust water and ingredients as well as cook time. You may add veggies such as diced carrots, celery e.t.c, but this is how it is enjoyed traditionally in the Palestinian/Jordanian areas.

Tips:

Use a variety of lentils. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture.
Don't overcook the lentils. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
Add the spices at the right time. Adding them too early will make them lose their flavor.
Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make lentil soup. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the spices to your taste.

Conclusion:

Lebanese lentil soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a very healthy soup, as it is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins. If you are looking for a new soup to try, I highly recommend Lebanese lentil soup. It is sure to become a family favorite.
