I love simple recipes, especially simple soups. Some days are so busy, that I truly appreciate a meal where I can just dump a few ingredients into my crockpot and walk away, knowing that dinner will be ready when it's time to eat. Lentil Spinach Soup is one of those recipes. It's also warm and happy on a cold, dreary day. These are all ingredients that are fairly easy to keep on hand for when you need to just throw a meal together. This recipe is also great for potlucks/lunch meetings. Last year I took this to church for a meeting after worship. I took all the ingredients with me and put them in the crockpot first thing. It was ready by lunch.
Lentil Spinach Soup
1 lb. green lentils
12 oz mirepoix (soup starter: onions, celery, & carrots)
12 oz spinach
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
6-8 cups water
Sort and rinse dry lentils and place in crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low all day or on high for half the day. Serve with whole wheat bread, if desired.
