Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)
Report
This Greek Lentil Soup aka Fakes just reminds me of growing up. The lentils combined with the flavors of the onion and spices, and tomato broth is just SO comforting for fall!

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 6 garlic roughly chopped or smashed, cloves
- 1 onion minced, medium
- 1 carrot chopped, large
- 2-3 bay leaf
- 1 1/2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable stock paste
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups lentils cook before you start the recipe, cooked
- 6 cups hot water or vegetable stock if you don't have the stock paste
- 1-2 tbsp. red wine vinegar HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, to serve with each serving
Instructions
- Into a large pot, heat the olive oil for 30 seconds on medium heat.
- To the pot, add the onions, garlic, and carrot and cook for 5 minutes stir often to avoid burning. You want the onions to golden, not brown. Turn heat to low if your stovetop is strong.
- To the pot, add the bay leaves, tomato paste, vegetable stock paste salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly coat all the ingredients.
- Increase heat to high, add the lentils and water (or vegetable stock), and cook for 20 minutes or until the carrots are completely tender and perfect.
- Serve with vinegar. This is a must.
Notes
- Vinegar: for this recipe, vinegar is so important. It heightens the flavour and blends everything perfectly. Any type of vinegar will work. Do not use lemon.
