Easy One Pot Vegan Lentil Soup
Ingredients needed:
2-3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 carrots, thinly sliced
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
4-5 baby potatoes, diced
1 1/2 cups brown lentils
5 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
2 cups baby spinach
Garnish- lemon wedges, fresh parsley, salt and pepper
Directions:
Add the olive oil to a large pot and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions, carrots and celery and sauté for approximately 5 minutes. Add the spices and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, potatoes and lentils. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the soup seems too thick, you can add more vegetable broth (1 cup at a time).
A few minutes before the soup is finished cooking, stir in the baby spinach. Season with salt and pepper and squeeze a lemon edge on top for some bright, fresh flavor. Serve with your favorite crusty bread.
