Instructions
- Dice onion.
- In a stockpot over medium-high heat, add onion and sauté for about 8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Meanwhile, mince garlic.
- When onion is translucent, add garlic and smoked paprika. Stir and cook 1 minute.
- Then add diced tomatoes, broth, and lentils (rinsed well and drained).
- Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
- Roughly chop spinach and stir in during the last couple minutes of cooking.
- Salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
- Thickness: This soup if fairly thick & dense as written. Add another 1-2 cups broth to thin it out if desired. (Or use less lentils.)
- Spicy: Add another layer of smokiness with chipotle! Either chipotles in adobo sauce or ground chipotle powder work great. (If using powder, start very small because it's strong.)
