Shorbat Adas(Middle Eastern Lentil Soup)
RECIPE BY: chef FIFI
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.

Thanks FIFI for posting! I am a soup addict and love lentils. This looked so interesting, I went out and bought tumeric which I never used before and some fresh parsley. My store didn't have red lentils so I used regular ones and I used veggie boullion in place of chicken. everything else is the same! I used the full teaspoon of tumeric too. What a mouthful of flavors for such an easy simple soup. Thanks for sharing a delicious middle eastern tradition with the rest of the world!

this soup was soooo easy to make and delicious! I used dried parsley because I couldn't get fresh, veggie stock cubes instead of chicken, and didn't have any lemons. I can't stress enough how GOOD this soup is! thanks for sharing the recipe. (i hope my 5 stars showed up, my browser was having issues)
