10 oldest soups in the world that are still eaten today

Lentil soup is among the oldest documented soups in human history. Lentils were first cultivated in the Fertile Crescent around 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, making them one of humanity’s earliest domesticated crops. Across countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, shorbat adas continues to be prepared with red lentils, onions, cumin and lemon, offering a comforting meal that has changed remarkably little over millennia.
