My mom often makes this Lebanese lentil soup. I adapted it for the Instant Pot®. It's a bit easier but just as good as the stovetop version!

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.
