Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Add Lentils and Broth

    Add the lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Spinach and Seasonings

    Add the fresh spinach, chopped mint, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the soup. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional mint if desired.
