Introduction

Filling soup with lentils, sauteed onions, carrots, celery and garlic with Italian seasoning. Adding chopped spinach and vinegar at the end is the key.

    Very Good

    Excellent!, and nicely balanced flavor. This was similar to my own recipe, so of course I liked it. I scaled it down for us, and used fresh spinach and a little dried mint. I often vary the spices when I make it. - 10/11/10

    Incredible!
    I used half the lentils and added a couple handfuls of fresh spinach. I served it with a salmon filet on the side! It's really a powerhouse soup for potassium in your diet! Will cook again! Thanks! - 2/15/18
