Ingredients

    3 tbsp Olive Oil, 3 tbsp
    1 c chopped Onions
    1 c chopped Carrots
    1 c chopped Celery
    4 c diced tomatoes or 1 quart home-canned
    tomatoes, no salt added.
    10 oz chopped Spinach, fresh or frozen
    1 pound dried Lentils
    4-8 cups water
    1-1/2 tsp ground Cumin
    1 tsp ground turmeric
    1/2 tsp ground Coriander
    1 tsp Salt

Directions

1. In a 5-quart soup pot over medium heat, sautee onions in olive oil until carmelized.
2. Add carrots, celery, tomatoes, and spinach.
3. Cook, stirring frequently until it begins to simmer, and frozen spinach, if used, begins to thaw.
4. Add lentils, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and up to four cups of water.
5. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently and adding water as needed to create as much or as little broth as you like.
6. Add salt and stir thoroughly just before serving.

With a thick, stew-like broth, this makes about 8 two-cup servings.

    Very Good
    Really tasty, had to modify a little by what I had on hand. I didn't have celery and only had tomato sauce but also added garlic. Yummy recipe. - 4/27/09

    Incredible!
    Excellent! I love lentils! I made mine in a pressure cooker though, and that shortened the cook time to like 10 minutes or so. :) - 3/18/09
