Instructions: Faki Soupa (Lentil Soup): Typical of simple, one-pot Greek dishes, this can be made with cooked white beans, too.

added 2 teaspoons of brown sugar to off-set the salty-flatness of bouillon. Hearty bean and tomato soup with the crunch of fresh green beans.

In a large heavy pot, saute onions in oil over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, turmeric, and coriander, and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, lentils, and stock, and bring to boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Add green beans and oregano, and continue cooking until beans are tender, about ten minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the soup tastes salty and gritty, add a small amount of brown sugar.

Simmer until mellow.
