We compliment this with Greek Feta(not French or Bulgarian) and a loaf of home made crusty bread. My wife also makes the lentil dish Fakee which is lentils mixture( brown, green, red, or black) oregano, bay leaves, mint, salt & pepper, canned tomatoes and her secret sauce. These dishes are very healthy and provide a wealth of high nutrition to our diet. I thought Lent was over!!
Hello! Vega73, and Welcone! Very good. Lentil's are very high in nutrition and vitamins. I do not cook my lentils in water. I use Tomatoe Sauce with spring water!
Season with: Oregano, Sweet Basil, 3-Bay Leaves, Rosemary, Cayanne Pepper Flakes, 4-Garlic cloves. I do add chopped Loukaniko and 2-lbs Carrots coarsely chopped, two Celery stocks coarsely chopped!
Lentil beans are very versatile in their cooking! You made a BIG hit when choosing Lentils . . . AP

My mother made this soup on a regular basis. Never used any written recipe. It was always wonderful as were all of her Greek dishes. Thanks for reminding me of those very special times.

For those of you in SoCal, there is a sleeper place that makes this with lentils. Delicious. I had a bowl of this with a Greek Salad....
I discovered this place about 15 years ago. When eateries are allowed to reopen it is one of the most traditional Greek places I have found. It is buried back in old Malibu.

Sounds really good. I bet it would be even better with some meat. I'd suggest a couple meaty beef shanks. The marrow would make it really rich, great mouthfeel.
I'm sure families add the shanks when they've got them--maybe as a treat monthly. The secret of these cuisines is meat is a flavoring not a source of BULK.
We'll try this.

Looks really good AP. Researched some recipes, going to give it a try. A week of damp weather coming up so a pot of soop will be nice.

Beans should always be pre soaked for at least one hour. They could be dirty or have critters sleeping in there.
I use to sell vegan products and one of the best companies that had high quality beans & grains was and is Goya Brand. And their products are readily available. I have no connection with them & I never did. I sold things in 25 & 50 lb sacks.

Good, important advice (re soaking). I'd just use canned white beans (or cannellinis, my favorite) and do away with the pressure cooker (which I don't possess). Nice recipe, though. Thanks.

Wecolme, RichinSeattle! I do seat the White Navy Beans just covered in Spring Water resting till I use. Veggies: I rough chop 1 lg Onion, 3-Celery stocks rough chop, 3-Carrots pealed & roughly chopped. Add to pot with 1 14oz can of veggie stock mix well!
Season with: Oregano, Sweet Basil, Rosemary, 4-cloves sliced Garlic, 3-Bay leaves, A sprinkle of Red Cayenee Pepper flakes! Scope all white beans into seasoned pot with 3-qt of spring water.
Add two 7oz cans of tomato past liquid in pot and mix really well! Pressure cook on high 40 minutes! AP
