may have put bacon into the soup, and Julia (who is vegetarian) may have eaten some before I got home to tell her not to.....but she said it's the most delicious lentil soup she had ever had! So, you know, that's gotta count for something....
Ingredients:
-2 onions, chopped
-4 carrots, diced
-3 celery stalks, chopped
-3 cloves of garlic, minced
-2 g dried oregano
-2 bay leaves
-1 g dried basil
-1 can crushed tomatoes
-385 g dry lentils (black or green)
-1895 ml broth (veggie or chicken)
-15 g spinach, rinsed and thinly sliced
-3 potatoes, diced
-3 slices bacon, diced
Directions:
1. Fry bacon in a large saucepan with oil until starts to brown. Add onions, carrots and celery. Cook and stir until the onion is tender.
2. Stir in garlic, bay leaf, oregano and basil. Cook for two minutes.
3. Stir in lentils, add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes add in the potato and spinach. Simmer for another 30 minutes. Season with salt, pepper (and optional vinegar) to taste.
