Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Set aside.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.

Add Lentils and Broth

Stir in the lentils, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

4

Simmer the Soup

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

5

Add Greens

Remove the bay leaf, and stir in the spinach or kale. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted.
