1/4 medium onion
1/2 cup diced tomatoes

PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned varieties.
Dice the carrot, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions become translucent.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Mix in the diced tomatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.

Just before serving, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired, and serve hot.
