Creamy Red Lentil and Spinach Soup
A warming and velvety soup that combines hearty red lentils with fresh spinach, balanced vegetables, and a touch of creaminess from Greek yogurt. This comforting bowl is beautifully spiced with garlic and aromatic herbs, perfect for a nourishing breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
80 grams dried red lentils
2 cups fresh spinach
1 medium carrot
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon olive oil
150 grams nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, diced carrot, and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, ground cumin, and ground turmeric to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly before blending half of the soup in a blender until smooth. Return the blended portion to the pot to achieve a creamy consistency.
Stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess, warming the soup gently without boiling. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve warm.
