I want to learn how to cook Shorba - Arab lentil soup

# data[].attributes.body
I want to make an Arab lentil soup called Shorba. I want to cook this since my family loves soups and we are Lebanese so I want to make this to show them appreciation. I have never cooked a soup and never used the stove. I always had someone turn on the gas and then I could cook, so I want to be comfortable using the stove and thus, become a better chef. Also, I want to learn how to properly cook lentils and know exactly the perfect consistency and form for this soup. For now, I don't want to modify anything but if I don't find some ingredients I will need to replace some ingredients or condiments. Apart from this, Shorba soup seems to be partly healthy since it includes vegetables and lentils, so not only will I try to make it tasty but also healthy.

Hello friends!

I hope everyone is doing well. Today I have a yummy, light yet satisfying lentil soup recipe for you. I love soup of any kind, and particularly while fasting, I like having a hot bowl of soup (even though it sometimes feels like I am living in a hot bowl of soup) because it fills me up without overeating. Because we enjoy dinners with our friends on the weekends, I like to eat light meals at home to balance out all the blessings.

Lentil soup is a staple soup in the Middle East. It is made with the same lentils that us Southeast Asians use for daal but made the way classic soups are made. It is made light and fresh with freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh parsley.

This soup doesn't take long to make and requires a few staple ingredients so when you have a hankering for some soothing soup, you know you can make it fairly quick.

Let's get started.

First, you'll need to rinse and soak one and a quarter cups of split red lentils in cool water for 15-20 minutes.

Once they've become translucent, add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Add in one bay leaf.And the drained lentils.

Next, add in four cups of chicken stock + two cups of water.

If you don't have an immersion blender, you can always blend this in a real blender by ladling the soup into the blender. Don't fill up the blender more than 25% full because the hot soup will expand and you don't want to blow this lid off of it.

Blend your soup until you have the consistency that you want. I don't like a fully liquid soup, I like to see some of the vegetables that are in there, but I don't like chunky soup either. So somewhere in between for me is good, but thats the beauty of cooking, you can adjust it to your taste.

Add in two and a half teaspoons of kosher salt (start with less - you can always add more), half a teaspoon of pepper, the juice from one lemon, and taste for seasonings.

I hope you guys try this recipe out!

My mom loves to cook and she is good at it. This is why I decided that I will ask her for advice on certain things for this recipe. For example, if after I watch videos and read recipes and I am still not sure about how to cook lentils I will ask my mom to help me or tell me when are my lentils ready. My cook can also be near me while I'm preparing this soup so if she sees I'm doing something wrong she can tell me and therefore its less probable for me to fail while cooking this.

I am going to be making the Lentil Arab soup. I want to do this because my family is also Lebanese and due to the pandemic we weren't able to travel there this vacations. So, I want to try to transport them to Lebanon through this soup. However, my problem is that some ingredients are specific to the middle east meaning that they are very difficult to find here in Lima. Right now, my solutions are to either ask an arab restaurant or club so that they could tell me where can I find the spices and ingredients. If I at the end I don't find the ingredients I will need to find a new soup or alter the ingredients and use Peruvian spices or spices from a local store.
