Lentilly Goodness


I didn't look back to see if I've posted this recipe before...but here's another chance to steal it if you'd like! This is the best recipe I've ever made (although I've enjoyed some pretty mean lentil soups others have made). I like to add all three seasonings (oregano/thyme/marjoram) -- they provide so much savory flavor. Mmm.

GOOD Lentil Soup

2 T Olive Oil
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped or grated
1 t oregano/thyme/marjoram (you choose)
1 t garlic pwd
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes with juice
8 c water
4 T savory seasoning (I use McKays beef)
2 c dry lentils, rinsed
1 bunch or bag spinach
salt to taste

Heat oil in large soup pot; saute onions, carrots, seasonings (while stirring) for about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes, broth and lentils; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
Stir in spinach just before serving.
