ARABIC LENTIL SOUP - SHORBAT ADDAS
This is a very typical Arabic soup made with very few ingredients. The taste is amazing and your stomach will thank you if you eat it on a warm, rainy day. Make it a meal by adding torn up pieces of pita bread to your bowl, or fry pieces of pita bread in oil for an arabic style crouton. Some like a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of cumin for extra flavor. A garnish of green onion is nice as well. Great soup for pressure cooker.

Steps:
- Warm the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minute.
- Stir in the garlic, turmeric, ginger and cumin. Cook, stirring often to keep the garlic from burning, another 2 minutes.
- Add the lentils, rice and stock. Mix well to combine. Cook about 30-35 minutes until the lentils are soft.
- Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Turn off the heat and move the pot off of the heat source.
- Use an immersion blender to process until you reach your desired consistency. Tip: You can also transfer the soup to a traditional blender if needed. Just make sure to only blend the soup and in batches making sure not to overfill the blender open the lid of the blender carefully and away from your face as it will likely be steamy.
- Alternatively, you can enjoy this as a chunky soup without blending if you prefer.
- Taste and season as you see fit (more salt, lemon juice, etc). Don't be afraid to add more lemon juice as it really makes this soup pop! Serve and enjoy.
SHORBAT ADAS(MIDDLE EASTERN LENTIL SOUP)
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.

ORANGE LENTIL SOUP (SHORABAT ADAS)
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the lentils and stir to coat them in the oil. Add the stock and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook, removing any foam that rises to the surface, until the lentils are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the over to 400°F.
- Brush olive oil over both sides of the bread slices, and cut them into small cubes. Place the cubes in a single layer in a baking dish, and toast in the oven until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Set the croutons aside.
- Transfer the lentils, with their liquid, to a blender, in batches if necessary, and puree. Return the soup to the pot. (Alternatively puree the lentils right in the pot with an immersion blender.) Add the cumin, salt, and pepper and give the soup a good stir. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, and sprinkle a few croutons on top of each serving. Serve with the lemon wedges, radishes, and olives alongside.
