Bowl O’ Soul Ingredients

Method

Bowl O’ Soul Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, then add the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), lentils, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils and vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper if necessary.

  5. 5
