This delicious lentil soup with vegetables is fun and easy to make. My family and I have been trying to eat healthy, so I started adding veggies to all my soups. You can modify it in many ways — add your favorite cooking oil, as well as any greens you like. Serve with toasted rosemary bread. Yum!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 4 large carrots, chopped

  • 1 large white onion, finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon dried tarragon

  • ½ teaspoon cumin

  • 1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils

  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes

  • 2 quarts vegetable broth

  • 1 (10 ounce) package spinach

  • 1 large zucchini, cut into small pieces

  • salt to taste

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, kosher salt, parsley, black pepper, ginger, tarragon, and cumin; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. Stir in lentils and tomatoes. Pour vegetable broth over all vegetables and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

  3. Stir in spinach and zucchini; simmer until zucchini is tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the soup before serving.

Recipe Tip

You can use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth if you prefer.
