Slow Cooker Traditional Greek Lentil Soup

When the weather turns cold, I reach for my crockpot and cook up some hot soup. This Traditional Greek Lentil Soup is one recipe that everyone agrees on.

When the weather turns cold and dreary, my crockpot is the first item I reach for in my kitchen. Soup is a meal that everyone in the family can agree on, whether it is for lunch or dinner. I often make this Crockpot Lentil Soup and always have great results.

Recently, I came across this version called Traditional Greek Lentil Soup. Loving lentils as much as I do, I knew I had to check it out. I decided to prepare it the same way I make my tried and true lentil soup, and tossed everything into my trusty crockpot. Here is the crockpot version, the original recipe for “Fakes” can be found here.
