Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
⅔ cup dry green lentils
1 ¾ cups water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
⅔ cup chopped fresh spinach
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until soft about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lentils and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cooking times will vary depending on the freshness of the lentils.
  • Ladle a half cup of the soup liquid into a bowl and whisk in the flour to form a paste. Mix the paste into the soup. Add the spinach, lemon juice, and salt. If you prefer a thinner soup, add a bit more water. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Adjust salt and lemon to suit your taste.
