Greek Lentil Soup Faki

This Greek lentil soup is very filling and comforting. It’s a hearty soup that you can cook on the weekend and then enjoy all week long.

Even though this Greek lentil soup is meatless, I promise that you won’t miss the meat because this soup is full of protein and fiber from lentils and vegetables. The combination of protein and fiber makes this Greek lentil soup very filling so that it can be eaten as a meal. In addition, this lentil soup is also naturally gluten-free.

And as a bonus, this Greek Lentil Soup Faki is super budget-friendly. All you need are some green lentils which are on the list of my favorite inexpensive low glycemic foods, carrots, celery, onion, some spices and green herbs and you have a big pot of soup to keep you happy all week long.

This Greek lentils soup is also quite easy to make and is perfect for beginner home cooks.
