LEMONY LENTIL SPINACH SOUP

Lentil soup is comfort food, and with a little lift from lemon, it becomes downright delicious. Adding oregano gives it a Greek flavor profile, and this soup would be great with flatbreads or a crumble of feta.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1/2 large lemon seeds removed
  • 2 large carrots chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the lentils, water, lemon half, carrots, oregano, salt and pepper in the slow cooker. Cover and set on low, and cook for 6 hours.
  2. At 6 hours, take off the lid and stir in the spinach and parsley. Stir for 1 minute to wilt, adjust seasonings and serve.
