Warm up with a hearty bowl of lentil soup that’s as comforting as a hug! Packed with nutritious lentils, vibrant veggies, and warm spices, this soup is perfect for chilly nights. Bonus: it’s easy to make and even easier to love!
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, lentils, bay leaf, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until lentils are tender.
If using, stir in the fresh spinach just before serving so it wilts slightly.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze of juice.
