| + | 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.

| | | | |

| |
| − | *1 large potato

| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Serving==
