Shorbet adas is the soup most Lebanese families make without a recipe. It is cheap, filling and quick, and during Ramadan it is often the very first thing eaten at iftar, after a date and a glass of water, because it is gentle on an empty stomach. It is also standard winter food and a Lenten staple, since it contains no meat or dairy.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese version is made with red (split orange) lentils, which break down completely in about 20 minutes. A little potato and carrot add body and sweetness, cumin gives warmth, and a generous squeeze of lemon at the table makes it come alive. Crisp fried or toasted pita on top is not optional in most homes.<\/p>\n
