Steps:
- Place the lentils in a pot and cover with lots of water. Bring to a boil and drain the water from the lentils.
- Cook the onion and carrots in the olive oil over medium heat until softened. About 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the lentils, bay leaves, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and oregano. Pour enough water to cover the lentils by at least an inch. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 30 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- You may add more water to the pot if needed and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
- Freezer Instructions: At this point, the soup is ready to be served. You may also allow it to cool completely then transfer to freezer-safe containers. The soup will keep fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To cook the soup with rice, add the rice to the pot along with 2 cups of water and some salt. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender. About 15 minutes. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the soup in bowls drizzled with olive oil and some vinegar along with some toasted bread. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils and drain well.
- In a large pot heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and the garlic. Sauté for 1-2 min.
- Add the carrots and celery and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir and add the lentils, smashed tomatoes (you can also smash the tomatoes with your spoon after you add them in) and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil for 1-2 min.
- Lower the heat to the minimum. Cover the pot and simmer for 60-90 minutes. Cooking time depends on the kind of lentils you are using. I am using green lentils that require longer cooking. Check lentils often until they have the desired texture. Adjust liquids too, you might need to add a little water or stock to achieve your desired soup consistency).
- Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Serve lentils in bowls with a slight sprinkle of red hot chili pepper flakes, a 1 tbsp olive, a tbs of red wine vinegar (optional) and warm crusty bread on the side.

Steps:
- To prepare this Greek lentil soup recipe, start by washing the lentils thoroughly and let them soak in water for about 2 hours. If you like, you can skip this process by adding them into a deep pan along with some water and place over high heat. As soon as they come to the boil, drain them into a colander.
- Place a pan over medium-low heat and add the lentils, the water (warmed), the chopped onions, the chopped garlic and the bay leaves. Simmer with the lid on for about 25 minutes.
- Pour in the olive oil and the red wine vinegar, and season well with salt and pepper. If you prefer your Greek lentil soup to be 'reddened', then add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.
- Boil the lentil soup for another 15 minutes, until it thickens and check out if they are done; keep in my mind that different kinds of lentils cook at different times.
- Serve this delicious Greek lentil soup with a splash of red wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Top with some crumbled feta cheese and enjoy!

FAKES (TRADITIONAL GREEK LENTIL SOUP)
This is my mum's way for fakes. Its a very common soup, perfect for the cold days, tasty and very healthy! It can be made without any tomato but then oregano must be added. I always make it red (with tomato).

GREEK LENTIL SOUP (FAKES)
Fakes (pronounced 'Fah-kehs') is a staple in the Greek kitchen, and an especially filling meal. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and lots of vinegar. Though the vinegar is of course optional, try it. It lifts the lentils and adds another dimension of flavor!
