Lentil Veggie Soup (Recipe)
Ingredients
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion
4 cloves garlic
1 celery stick
1 carrot
1 leek
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 cup dried green lentils
5 oz fresh bagged spinach
pinch sea salt
dash black pepper
✅ 4 (14.5 oz) cans vegetable broth
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, thinly slice the celery stick, roughly chop the carrot (peeled) and cut the leek (cleaned and dried) into thin half moon shapes, also add the lentils into a fine sieve and rinse under cold water.
Heat a stock pot with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
Pour in vegetable broth. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped vegetables, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and the vegetables are lightly sauteed, add in the sherry vinegar, paprika and thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the lentils and broth, raise to a high heat and give it a gentle mix
When it comes to a boil, place a lid on the pan and lower to a low heat, simmer until the lentils are cooked through (check package instructions)
In the meantime, roughly chop the spinach
Once the lentils are just cooked through, 20 minutes in my case, season the soup with sea salt & black pepper, gently mix together, then add in the chopped spinach, gently mix it in until lightly wilted, then remove from the heat
Transfer into shallow bowls, serve at once, enjoy!
Enjoy!!!
