Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoon | 30 ml olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups | 300 g split red lentils
1/2 cup | 100 g uncooked white rice (long grain or short grain rice)
8 cups | 1.9 litres vegetable stock or chicken stock
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Large handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup | 60 ml fresh lemon juice

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)



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.

ARABIC LENTIL SOUP - SHORBAT ADDAS



Arabic Lentil Soup - Shorbat Addas image

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.
