Classic Lentil Vegetable Soup

Instrucciones

1. 1

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the lentils, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.

5. 5

   If using fresh spinach, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking. If using frozen, add it just a minute before serving to heat through.

6. 6

   Optionally, squeeze in the juice of one lemon just before serving for a bright finish.
