Hearty lentil soup!

Full of proteins, vegetarian and so yummy, lentil soup today! Recipe coming directly from Greece, traditional and so healthy that despite the sunny days in my place and the temperatures that have rose high I decided to do it. No-one complained :)




  


Ingredients
500gr of lentils (bio, if it's possible and the best quality that you can find)
2 carrots
1 big onion
2 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf
salt, pepper, oregano
1/2 cup of good olive oil
2 red tomatoes or equivalent tomato sauce
1 spoonful of good vinegar

Procedure
Start by emptying the lentils in a big tray and check little by little all of it to be sure that there is nothing else in there. Once done, put the lentils in a big casserole with enough water to cover them and boil them for a few minutes. Drain the lentils and add once again water up to half the casserole and put it back to fire.
Add the carrots in slices, the minced onion and the smashed garlic and the rest of the ingredients. Cook in medium fire for about 45min or until the lentils are quite soft.
Serve the soup warm together with good bread (whole grain would be great) and accompany with olives, feta cheese or even tuna.
