I have always loved lentil soup, mainly because it’s a soup hearty enough to be a meal all while still be satisfying, healthy and delicious! You can make a big ol’ batch of it and store it in the fridge for a week or freezer for a month! The best part is it’s easy to reheat and can be enjoyed simply with a delicious piece of bread. Be right back – going to go DIP right in!
Ingredients:
- 2 TBS Olive Oil
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large sweet potato or 2 small, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups red split lentils (uncooked)
- 6 – 8 cups vegetable broth
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- pinch of dried rosemary
- 1 tsp sea salt
- pinch of black pepper
- 1 bunch of spinach or kale
- 2 tsp red wine vinegar
Instructions:
- Add olive oil to a large stock pot and bring to medium heat, add in your onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Following add in your celery and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, then stir in your sweet potato + lentils.
- Add in 6 cups of vegetable broth and lentils, this is for a thicker consistency lentil soup, if you do not want as thick make the full 8 cups. Stir in all the spices and bring to a boil, then lower to simmer. Cook for about 30 – 40 minutes, taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Stir in spinach and red wine vinegar, cook for a few more minutes until spinach is wilted. Pour in bowls and enjoy with a delicious bread! Stay warm!
