INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup dry lentils (150g)
1 medium carrot (61g)
2 stalks celery (80g)
1 small onion (70g)
1 cup diced tomatoes (240g)
2 cups vegetable broth (480g)
2 cups fresh spinach (60g)
1 tbsp olive oil (14g)
2 cloves garlic (6g)
1 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and vegetable broth to the pot. Add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it cook uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach and season the soup with salt and pepper.
Remove the bay leaf before serving and ladle the warm soup into bowls for a hearty, nutritious meal.
