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

Ingredients | Easy Lentil Soup

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

1 pinch salt to taste

1 teaspoon olive oil, or to taste

Directions

Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, onion, salt, parsley, black pepper, ginger, tarragon, and cumin in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir lentils and tomatoes into the carrot mixture. Pour vegetable broth over the vegetables, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer until the lentils are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

Stir spinach and zucchini into the broth mixture; simmer until the zucchini is tender, about 7 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and season soup with salt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the soup before serving.

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