Greek-Style Lentil & Herb Soup (Fakes)
Method
Load the Base: Add the rinsed brown lentils, red onion, garlic, tomato purée, dried oregano, bay leaf, olive oil, and hot vegetable stock into your electric soup maker jug, ensuring ingredients stay below the MAX line.
Select Program: Secure the lid and select the Chunky Soup program (typically 25–28 minutes) to gently cook the lentils without blending.
Season and Brighten: Once the cycle finishes, carefully remove the bay leaf, stir in the red wine vinegar, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Finish and Serve: Ladle into warm bowls and top with a extra drop of vinegar or a drizzle of olive oil.
Cooking Hack: Always add the red wine vinegar right at the end of the cooking cycle. Adding acid too early can make the lentil skins tough, whereas stirring it in post-cook brightens the earthy flavours instantly.
