Lentil soup (Arabic shorbit adas; Hebrew nezid adashim) is a soup made with lentils which is popular all over the Middle East. Usually it is a vegetarian soup, but can also be made with meat stock. Red or green lentils may be used.

The lentils are boiled with vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, parsley and onion, and then pureed. Fried garlic and cumin are sometimes added for flavor. Lentil soup is served hot. Some cooks add a squeeze of lemon juice, or croutons for garnish.

Lentil soup is mentioned in the Bible: In the book of Genesis 25:34, Esau is prepared to give up his birthright for a pot of lentil soup that his brother, Jacob. is cooking.
