Description

Super fast and flexible, you can make this lentil soup in no time. Short prep time and 40 minutes or so of cook time and a hearty meal is ready to go!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups lentils
  • 1 cup rice
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 23 chopped celery stalks
  • 67 medium carrots
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 lb frozen spinach
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp Thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (with juice)

Instructions

  1. Chop the onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms (we like nice thick slices of mushrooms)
  2. Add to a large saucepan
  3. Add the corn, spinach and spices to the pan
  4. Pour the diced tomatoes and juice into the pan
  5. Add the rice and lentils and the water
  6. Bring to a boil
  7. Simmer for 45 minutes
  8. Stir occasionally

Notes

  • Prep note: some people are compelled to sauté onions in a pot and then build the soup from there. I have done it both ways and find no difference. I prefer the easier and lower fat option of just adding the raw onions.
  • Serve in bowls with chopped fresh parsley as a garnish.
