Do you like legume!? you'll find lots of legume recipes in Greek Cuisine!. Lentils is my favourite but I also like chickpeas and bean soup!.
look for lentil soup on the internet or "fakes soupa" (lentil soup in greek)!.
Lentil soup is very easy to make you just boil the stuff for 35-40 minutes!. Some people like to add tomato juice to the pot!.
Personally I like to add bay leaves, garlic, grated onion and a bit of cumin while they are boiling!.
When you serve accompany them with greek feta cheese!.
