Lentil soup

My family used to eat at a Greek restaurant often and some of us really enjoyed their lentil soup, my mother then managed to replicate it rather accurately, It is a vegetarian soup that would go great with some pita bread and a sandwich.

Ingredients

• 2 cups brown lentils
• 1 large potato
• 2 carrots (or halved baby carrots)
• 1 onion
• 1/4 cups fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp Vinigar or lemon juice
• Ground Pepper and Salt

Procedure

• Slice the onion into large chunks.
• Saute onion chunks in a small amount of olive oil in a large pot (or if you prefer the low edges use a skillet)

• If you cooked the onions in a skillet like me go ahead and toss them into a large pot.
• Add the 2 cups of brown lentils and 6 cups of water to the pot.

• Bring the contents of the pot to a boil.
• While you are waiting on the Contents to boil go ahead and chop the Carrots into thick slices, the potato into large cubes, and chop the parsley up fine.
• Once boiling add the rest of your carrots, potato, and parsley

• Once the potatoes and lentils are tender, you may salt and pepper to taste.

WARNING:(Don't salt the beans until they are done or it will make them tough.)

• Just before serving, add a couple tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice

Serving

Put it in a bowl and enjoy it, you may want to add more salt or pepper to it, and I find adding some more uncooked fresh parsley enhances the flavor.
