INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried green lentils (~66g)
1/4 cup canned chickpeas (drained, ~40g)
50g firm tofu, cubed
1 medium carrot, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup fresh spinach
2 cups vegetable broth
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the dried green lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a large pot, add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and celery. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the rinsed lentils. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the diced tomatoes and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils start to soften.
Stir in the chickpeas and cubed tofu, allowing them to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
Mix in the fresh spinach and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty, healthy lentil soup!
