Lentil Soup Ingredients

Method

Lentil Soup Directions

1

Sauté the Vegetables

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

2

Add Garlic and Tomatoes

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Then add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and stir to combine.

3

Combine Lentils and Broth

Add the dry lentils, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4

Simmer the Soup

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

5

Add Spinach and Lemon Juice

Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Stir in the spinach and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

6

Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the lentil soup hot, garnished with additional lemon juice if desired.
