Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 medium carrot peeled and diced
- 3 talks celery (diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup brown lentils (uncooked)
- 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- 4 cups water
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 8 cups spinach
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onions, carrots and celery and cook until they become tender, about 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the garlic, cumin and cinnamon. Heat until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds. Add lentils to the pan and heat 1-2 minutes to slightly toast. Pour in the chicken broth, water and lemon juice then bring pot to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
- Right before serving, stir in the spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with additional, salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste before serving warm.
Notes
- We usually use spinach but you can also swap for other greens like Swiss chard or mustard greens. Leftovers taste even better on days 2 and 3!
