INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried red lentils (approx. 100g)
2 cups unsalted vegetable broth (approx. 480g)
1 medium carrot, chopped (approx. 61g)
1 small onion, diced (approx. 70g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (approx. 6g)
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes (approx. 120g)
1 cup fresh spinach (approx. 30g)
1 tsp olive oil (approx. 5g)
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 170g)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the diced onion and chopped carrot. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the soup, about 2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some texture. Alternatively, transfer a portion to a blender and combine, then return to the pot.
Ladle the soup into a bowl and swirl in the nonfat Greek yogurt for a creamy finish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
