LEBANESE SHORBAT ADDAS (LENTIL SOUP)

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil on medium low, then add onion and cook until soft, stirring so they don't stick. 2. Once the onions have soften, add the garlic, cumin and turmeric and cook while stirring for another minute. Add the stock and bring heat up to medium-high. 3. Rinse and drain the lentils, then add them to the soup. Once the soup comes to a boil, reduce and simmer for approximately 35 minutes. 4. Serve with salt & pepper to taste, and a wedge of lemon - be sure to squeeze that lemon into your soup!

ARABIC LENTIL SOUP

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.
