INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked green lentils
0.5 cup cannellini beans
0.5 cup diced tomatoes
1 medium carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, chopped
0.5 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked green lentils and cannellini beans if using canned varieties.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of water or vegetable broth over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, carrot, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth along with the diced tomatoes. Stir in the cooked lentils and cannellini beans, then add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In the final few minutes, add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm.
