METHOD

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, lentils, bay leaf, ground cumin, salt, and pepper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

If using, stir in the fresh spinach just before serving so it wilts slightly.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf and serve the soup hot with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze of juice.
