I had to click on this post wondering what a fake lentil soup was and it led me to a giggle and a deliciously thick and appealing looking soup! I can imagine the splash of vinegar would add some zing to the earthy lentils

I too would wear a lentil lovin’ T-shirt proudly and even made up my own version of lentil soup not too long ago (not a fake one though – grin )

I just came across your fakes recipe after putting up my own version on my new blog. Your photographs are great! I’m married to a Greek and we moved to Sydney 2 years ago. I love Greek food and I look forward to seeing your future posts.

We love lentils too, but certainly don’t cook enough of them. The soup sounds very tasty and hearty. Great pics!

I am making this recipe right now. It was a tradition as I was growing up to eat lentil soup (fakes) on Good Friday, so I make it for my family. The recipe you have posted is very similar to the recipe that I typically make. It’s fun to see Greeks all over the world making the same recipes.

We are planning a very Greek Easter with lamb, spanakopetes, tiropetes, pasca bread and of course feta and olives. Kali anastasi.

this is the most poplar bean dish in or house
it is also the lightest, and i feel the only dry bean stew that we can eat all year round, even in the hot summers
we make lentil soup (exactly as in my recipe) once every three weeks – it has its own special rota in or weekly diet

this looks great! i’ve been meaning to make some lentil soup but never got around to it and this is like a small kick in the bum to do something with the bag of lentils in the pantry hehe

Peter, fakes are a Greek weekday staple, especially during lent. Next times try them with some smoked fish on the side. Growing up we always had smoked herring and some olives together with the soup. The erathiness of the lentils suits the smoked fish really well.

Lentils have become a singular obsession! We are cooking more frequently than ever and still no relief to the craving. Our last dish combined lentils with bulgar in a savory veggie broth. This post just reminds me that it’s time to go back to the pantry and do it all over again.

Cheers,

Beautiful dish of lentil soup! I love lentils too; we never ate them when we were growing up so I only experienced eating lentils actually not too long ago but I love them!
