I think this is the best fat-free lentil soup I've ever made. You could

cut back on the pepper, but I kind of liked it this way. It looks like a

lot of ingredients, but most of them are spices.

 

Peppery Lentil Soup

 

1 onion, chopped

3 carrots, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup dry entils (the regular brown ones), rinsed

5 cups water

1 Tbsp. miso paste

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/2 tsp. celery seed

1/4 t. fines herbs

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp. ground coriander

1-2 packed cups chopped fresh spinach

 

Bring everything but the spinach to a boil, then turn down the heat and

simmer approximately 45 minutes, until lentils are as soft as you want

them to be. A few minutes before serving, stir in the spinach, allow to

wilt a few minutes, then serve the soup hot. Also excellent as leftovers.

Forgot to mention to remove the bay leaf before serving. :-)
