Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups red lentils, rinsed
1 to 2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden.
  • Add the lentils and 6 cups water and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 teaspoon curry powder, cover, and simmer very gently for 35 to 40 minutes.
  • When the lentils are mushy, stir in the spinach and check the consistency. If the soup is too thick, add about 4 cup water. Season with salt and additional curry powder, if desired.
  • Simmer for another 5 minutes. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or so to develop flavor. Heat through as needed before serving.
