Ingredients for Creamy Red Lentil Soup

Using triple-cleaned Al-Farasha Lentils ensures a smooth texture without the need for intensive sorting:

• The Pulse: 2 cups Al-Farasha Red Lentils (rinsed).

• Vegetables: 1 large onion, 2 medium carrots, 1 potato, and 1 tomato (all roughly chopped).

• Aromatics: 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp cumin (essential for digestion), ½ tsp turmeric (for golden color).

• The Base: 6-7 cups of water or vegetable stock.

• Finishing Touch: 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee, and toasted pita bread for serving.

Easy Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil the Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the Al-Farasha Red Lentils, chopped vegetables, and garlic. Add the water or stock and bring to a boil.

2. Simmer to Perfection: Lower the heat and simmer for about 20–25 minutes. Because Al-Farasha Lentils are sourced from the finest varieties, they soften quickly and evenly.

3. Blend for Creaminess: Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender (or a standard blender) to puree the soup until it reaches a silky-smooth consistency.

4. Season & Bloom: Stir in the cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. For an authentic Egyptian touch, sauté a little minced garlic in a separate pan with a pinch of coriander and stir it into the soup just before serving.

5. Garnish: Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon and side of crunchy bread.

The Quality Advantage: Why Al-Farasha Lentils?

The secret to the perfect Shorbet Adas lies in the purity of the grain. Al-Farasha Lentils undergo an advanced optical sorting process, meaning they are free from stones and impurities. Sourced from top-tier global crops, these lentils provide a vibrant color and rich, nutty flavor that cheap alternatives simply can’t match.
