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.
