Soup

Herbed Croutons

Method

Soup

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

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

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Stir in the cubed chicken breast, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, rinsed lentils, and chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Cover and let the soup simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils and chicken are cooked through.

  5. 5

    Finish with Spinach and Lemon

    Stir in the chopped spinach and lemon juice, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Herbed Croutons

  1. 6

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, and salt. Toss until the bread is evenly coated.

  3. 8

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
