INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry Red Lentils (67g)

2 stalks Celery (80g)
1 medium Onion (110g)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes (240g)
2 cups Spinach (60g total)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (82g)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cups Vegetable Broth (480ml)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften slightly.
Stir in the red lentils and diced tomatoes, mixing well with the vegetables.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Add the chickpeas and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts and the chickpeas are heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired, and serve hot.
