Mediterranean Lentil Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil, for sautéing (may use a splash of water if avoiding oil)

1 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced celery

1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 1/2 cups gold potato, diced (or white or red potato)

2 cups lentils, brown or green

5 cups vegetable broth, or water

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion and 1 tsp salt, cook for 3-5 minutes, until onion is translucent and vegetables begin to soften.

Add garlic, tomato paste, cumin, coriander and chili flakes. Sauté for another 2 minutes, until tomato paste begins to caramelize and turn a deep red and the spices are fragrant.

Add the water, lentils, bay leaves and remaining salt to the pot. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until lentils are tender. Remove bay leaves, stir in lemon juice and remaining olive oil. Serve with parsley sprinkled on top.
