It can also be served with a slice of crusty bread, feta cheese, or Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This soup is not only delicious but also highly nutritious. Lentils are a great source of protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They are also low in fat and calories, making this soup a healthy and satisfying meal option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking to remove any debris or impurities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To save time, you can use pre-cooked lentils instead of dry lentils. Just add them to the soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a good-quality vegetable or chicken stock for the soup. Homemade stock will give the soup the best flavor, but store-bought stock will work in a pinch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you like a thicker soup, you can blend some of the soup in a blender or food processor and then add it back to the pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve the soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top for added creaminess and flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I use other types of lentils instead of green lentils?<\/strong><br>A: Yes, you can use brown or red lentils if you prefer. Keep in mind that different lentils have different cooking times, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?<\/strong><br>A: Yes, you can make this soup in a slow cooker. Simply add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the lentils are cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q: Can I freeze leftover soup?<\/strong><br>A: Yes, leftover soup can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat on the stove or in the microwave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greek lentil soup, also known as Fakes soupa, is a traditional dish in Greek cuisine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[314],"tags":[297,338],"class_list":{"0":"post-7389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soup","8":"tag-greek","9":"tag-soup","10":"post_format-post-format-video"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Greek Lentil Soup for the Soul: Healthy and Hearty<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Greek lentil soup, also known as Fakes soupa, is a traditional dish in Greek cuisine.
