One of my resolutions was to blog once a week.
With that in mind...I'm sharing a recipe that I have made I think 3 times in the past 4 weeks.
It makes a lot so there will be plenty of leftovers.
Pair it with a side of grilled asparagus or roasted broccoli! Yum! I also paired it with these amazing buffalo chicken sausages (thin n trim is the brand name - found them at Kroger). Kind of a weird pairing - but one sausage link and a cup of this soup was a great lunch!
If you make it, let me know what you think. It's a good one for these cold days we've been experiencing in Indiana.
SPINACH LENTIL SOUP
1 onion
3 or 4 large carrots (do 4)
4-5 cloves garlic
2 cups dry lentils (brown or green - i've been using green)
15 oz can diced tomatoes (or fresh. i actually have been putting in a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and this has been awesome!)
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken or beef. whatever you have on hand.)
3 cups water
5 oz spinach
1.5 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
*I also didn't have enough lentils to go in this the last time that I made it and put in 1 cup lentils and about 3/4 cup cubed sweet potato. It was so good too.
Dice onion and carrot.
In a large pot, saute onion and carrot for a bit (5-8 mins).
Rinse lentils.
Add garlic, cumin, paprika, and salt to the mixture. Saute for a minute.
Add broth, water, tomatoes, and lentils.
Turn up the heat and let it boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until lentils are soft/tender.
Chop up spinach (or whole is ok too).
Add spinach during last couple minutes of cooking.
Done! Enjoy :)
