Lentil Spinach Soup

Lentil Spinach Soup

If lentils aren’t a favorite of yours yet, just give them time, they will be! I love this refreshing, easy-to-make soup any time of the year, including summer. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and also freezes well.

Hands-on - 10 min.
Simmer - 50 min.

Ingredients  
onions 2
carrots 2
olive oil 1 T
minced garlic  1/2 tsp (1 clove)
water 4 cups
dried lentils (1/2 pound), rinsed and picked over for stones 1 1/4 cups
diced tomatoes, no salt added 1 can (14 1/2 oz)
frozen spinach 1 pkg (10 oz)
lemon juice 1 T
grated lemon peel or 2 tsp red wine vinegar (optional) 1 tsp
salt (optional) 1 tsp

Directions

  • Chop onions and carrots into bite-size pieces.
  • Sauté olive oil and garlic with vegetables in a medium soup pot for 2 minutes.
