Savor a warm bowl of Hearty Vegetable Lentil Soup packed with tender red lentils, crisp carrots, celery, and aromatic herbs. This comforting soup marries the earthiness of lentils with the freshness of diced tomatoes, spinach, and a hint of garlic and onion, all simmered in a light vegetable broth for a balanced and nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (approx 100g)
1 medium Carrot (approx 61g)
2 stalks Celery (approx 80g)
1/2 medium Onion (approx 50g)
2 cloves Garlic (approx 6g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (approx 120g)
1 cup Spinach (approx 30g)
2 cups Vegetable Broth
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Firm Tofu (approx 50g)
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cool water and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
Add the chopped carrots and celery to the pot, stirring for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, coating them well with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Add the firm tofu (cubed) and spinach, stirring gently to combine.
Season the soup with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your fresh herbs (parsley and thyme). Let the flavors meld for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, then ladle the hearty soup into bowls. Serve warm and enjoy!
