INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils (198g)
1/2 cup canned cannellini beans (85g)
1/2 cup firm tofu (126g)
1 medium carrot
1 celery stalk
1/2 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup spinach
1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Heat a medium pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once warmed, add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and spices (bay leaf, dried thyme, ground cumin) and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked lentils, cannellini beans, and diced tomatoes. Mix well.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Gently fold in the cubed tofu and spinach. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-7 minutes so the flavors meld and the spinach wilts.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl and enjoy this hearty, nutritious meal any time of the day.
