Lentil Soup w/ Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Spinach Recipe

I love a simple weeknight meal and soup usually falls into that category.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil, to sauté onion & garlic

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dry basil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 cups of lentils, rinsed (optional: soak them in water for an hour)

  • 8 cups of vegetable broth

  • 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped into bite-sized pieces

  • About 3 cups of fresh spinach, washed

Instructions:

  1. In a large stockpot, sauté the onion & garlic for about 6 minutes on medium heat.

  2. Mix in dry basil, salt & pepper and cook for another minute.

  3. Then add lentils & vegetable broth.

  4. Bring to boil.

  5. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes (or until the lentils are soft)

  6. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.

  7. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.

  8. Serve with rice or solo.

Enjoy!
