Hearty Vegetable and Lentil Soup
Sautéed aromatic vegetables and protein-rich chicken simmered with earthy lentils in a savory, herb-infused broth for a comforting and nutrient-dense bowl.
INGREDIENTS
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 oz chicken breast
0.25 cup dry green lentils
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup celery
2 cloves garlic
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Stir in the diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dry lentils, thyme, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and stir in the baby spinach, allowing it to wilt into the hot soup for 1 minute before serving.
