- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add water, lentils, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, salt, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper; stir to incorporate. Cover and simmer until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours.
- Whisk butter and flour together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; stir constantly until thickened and paste-like, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until light brown, about 20 more minutes. Whisk flour paste into finished soup, a spoonful at a time, until smooth and creamy. Serve with lemon wedges, 2 tablespoons parsley, and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper.

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.
NON-FAT MIDDLE EASTERN GREENS AND LENTIL SOUP
The original recipe comes from Paula Wolfert's Mediterranean Grains and Greens cookbook. I have modified it so that it uses no oil. I have to watch my food budget, so I also use supermarket lentils instead of the imported ones, and bottled lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed. You can, of course, use Spanish pardina or Indian, Egyptian or Ethiopian lentils if you like, as well as freshly squeezed lemon juice. The Tuscan kale is very good with this dish, and you could add arugula, watercress or beet greens to the soup. This is a very light, savory and tasty soup that is much better tasting on the second day.

Steps:
- Wash the lentils and drain them in a colander. Put them into a soup pot with the chopped onion, garlic and salt and two quarts of water or broth, bring to a boil, skim any foam off, and cook for fifteen or twenty minutes.
- While the lentils are cooking, wash the greens and remove the stems from the chard or kale if you are using them. Slice the greens in narrow shreds. You should have about four cups.
- Spray a non-stick frying pan or seasoned cast iron skillet with canola spray, place it on the burner and add 1/4 cup broth from the cooking lentils to the pan. Add the cilantro and the greens, cover the pan and allow them to wilt for about five minutes. Scrape the contents of the skillet into the pan with the cooking lentils. Cook another twenty minutes or so, until the soup is thick.
- Stir the lemon juice into the soup and serve.
JACOB'S MIDDLE EASTERN LENTIL SOUP
This recipe came out of our home school Bible Workbook called Genesis to Joshua. My children had to make it one day for Bible Class. For those who need a refresher...Esau came in from the wilderness after hunting and sold his birthright to Jacob for some of his soup. I have to tell you, I have never been a big lentil soup fan, but the lemon juice in this soup really brightens the flavor and I found it to be very pleasing...even my picky eaters enjoyed it!

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.
