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!

Steps:
- Pick over the lentils and remove any shrivelled pieces and small stones.
- Cover the lentils with warm water for 3 - 4 hours. Change water every hour or so. Drain.
- Add lentils to a pot and cover with an inch of water. Bring water and lentils to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes and then drain lentils and discard the water they were boiled in. Rinse lentils.
- While the lentils are boiling, prepare your vegetables by finely dicing onion, carrot and celery, thinly slicing the garlic and grating your potato if you're adding it.
- In a large pot (you can use the same pot you just boiled the lentils in - but dry it first) combine the olive oil and chopped onion. Cook onion over medium heat until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaves to pot with onions. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly to prevent garlic from burning.
- Add the lentils, water (6 cups or enough to cover the lentils by 1 inch), tomato sauce, and the grated potato(or rice if you are using either).
- Bring to boil and then reduce to medium heat. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper 15 minutes into the cooking process. Total cooking times may vary depending upon the age of the lentils, and whether or not you soaked them, and for how long. Your fakes are done when they are soft to the bite. For those who want, you can add a splash (1 teaspoon or so) of red wine vinegar to each individual portion
- Enjoy!

FAKES - LEFKADA LENTIL SOUP
The lentils of Englouvi in Lefkada are famous all over Greece, and it wasn't until I traveled there for season 3 of My Greek Table that I understood why. These small brown lentils cook up into a creamy, porridge-like classic Greek recipe for lentil soup that makes for the ultimate comfort food. But you can achieve a similar result with regular lentils, too, cooked a little bit longer. Extra virgin Greek olive oil is absolutely necessary to achieve that creamy texture, too!

Steps:
- Rinse the lentils in a colander under cold water.
- Place in a pot with enough water to cover by about 3 inches and add the garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the lentils are cooked and have absorbed most of the water.
- Uncover, add the oregano sprigs, and slowly add the olive oil, stirring gently, until the soup becomes thick and creamy. Add salt to taste. Serve.
