Coming home the other day I realised we had practically no food in the house. None except frozen pizza, ugh! So I grabbed a couple of things from the little corner store and made this soup to accompany our spinach and cheese pizza.
Hearty Lentil Soup Recipe - Makes 2 bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 can lentils
- handful of grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 green onions
- 1/2 bouillon cube
- handful of leafy green vegetables - such as bok choy leaves, spinach, kale, or chard leaves - shredded into slivers
- oregano, lemon juice, ground pepper
Into a soup pot on medium heat, throw the chopped white stalks of 2 green onions, and halved tomatoes in with 1 tsp olive oil. Saute for 3 minutes, then add 1/4 tsp oregano flakes. Add in 1 tsp lemon juice and stir for 1 minute.
Open a small can of cooked lentils (8 oz) and rinse fully. Add lentils to pot along with 1/2 a can-ful of water. Add your greens and 1/2 bouillon cube (chicken or veggie) and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure that the greens get cooked. Remove from heat, add in another tsp of lemon juice, 1 Tbsp chopped green tops of onion and ground pepper to taste. Voila - fresh soup!
