Hearty Vegetable and Lentil Soup
Sautéed chicken and aromatic vegetables simmered with tender lentils in a savory herb-infused broth that feels incredibly warming and restorative.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked green lentils
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup yellow onion
0.5 cup carrots
0.5 cup celery
1 clove garlic
2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken breast and sauté until the edges are golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until the vegetables begin to soften and become fragrant.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring for 60 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the cooked lentils, bringing the liquid to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the soup to simmer for 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from heat, stir in the baby spinach until just wilted, and brighten the soup with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
