lebanese lentil soup

A very healthy and hearty traditional Lebanese Lentil Soup (Shorbet Adas)  that can be served during Ramadan and any other time during the year.

Lebanese Lentil Soup (Shorbet Adas)

red lentil

onion

carrot

golden potato (or any potato, peeled cubed)

cumin powder

fine black pepper

salt (or more)

½ tsp. 7 spice (optional, if you have it handy)

water

tbsps. chopped parsley (fresh)

lemons

Pita Bread (optional)

onions (very finely chopped, Optional)

Wash lentils until the water becomes almost clear after you rinse them. No froth what so ever after you wash it.

Place the lentils in a large pot and add the potatoes, onions and carrots. Add enough water to fill the pot about ¾ of the way through. About 12 cups of water.

Boil for at least 45 minutes to an hour until the lentils have softened completely.

Turn off the heat and let the soup rest for about 10 minutes. Remove some excess water (if any) and set aside to add later if needed.

If you are blending the soup with a hand mixer, you can do so right away. If you are blending with a regular blender, let it cool a bit before you blend to avoid burning yourself or be very careful while you blend it hot.

Blend until it’s super creamy, leaving no chunks behind. I blend for at least 1 minute on high to get a very nice creamy texture.

Return to the pot, add in the spice mixture (after you mix with water), salt and parsley.

Bring to boil and then simmer on low for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent any sticking on the bottom.

Remove from heat and add in the lemon juice. Wait for the soup to cool down a few minutes before serving to prevent your mouth from burning.

Serve with some crushed fried pita and enjoy.
