Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

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

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute.

3. Add Lentils and Spices

Stir in the lentils, cumin, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.

4. Add Broth and Tomatoes

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the canned diced tomatoes and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

5. Simmer the Soup

Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

6. Add Spinach

Stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until wilted.

7. Final Adjustments

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
