How To Make Lentil Soup Recipe?

1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for use.
2. Cook the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook and stir for 3–5 minutes until the onion is tender.
3. Add the seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, bay leaf, oregano, and basil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
4. Add lentils and liquids: Stir in the lentils, then add the water and crushed tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for at least 1 hour or until the lentils are tender.
6. Add spinach: Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts.
7. Season the soup: Stir in the vinegar and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve and enjoy: Serve the soup hot, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Rinse the lentils thoroughly: Rinsing removes any dirt or debris, ensuring clean lentils for the soup.
• Use vegetable broth instead of water: This enhances the soup’s flavor and makes it richer.
• Simmer the soup for longer: Allowing the lentils to cook for a longer time brings out more flavor and ensures they are tender.
• Stir occasionally: Stirring helps prevent the lentils from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Taste and adjust seasonings: Taste the soup and add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your preference.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover lentil soup cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze: Cool the soup, then place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Pour the soup into a pot and heat it on medium for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s heated through.
