Lentil Soup (Fakes Soupa)
Author/ Συγγραφέας: Katerina
Recipe type/ Τύπος Πιάτου: Soup
Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Greek
- 1 cup lentils
- 3 cups water
- ½ cup tomato puree
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp balsamico
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- I make this soup in the pressure cooker so as to save time especially during the weekdays, but you can use any regular pot.
- It will just take some more cooking time.
- Put the pressure cooker in medium/high heat and pour the 3 tbsp of olive oil.
- Add the onion garlic and lentils after you have washed them well.
- Sauté for one minute and then add everything but the salt and the ⅓ cup of olive oil.
- Increase the heat to high and when it starts to boil, close the lid of the pressure cooker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- From the moment you lower the heat to low it takes about an hour.
- Remove the pressure cooker from fire and open the lid after making sure that there is no steam on the cooker.
- Put the cooker on the heat again and increase the temperature to medium/high.
- Add the salt and olive oil and boil for three more minutes.
- Serve warm with bread and feta cheese.
