This Mediterranean Spicy Spinach Lentil Soup is simply bursting with mediterranean flavors and ingredients. I love this spicy soup so much. It’s a real warmer on a cold day. I often make a double batch so I can take some for lunch the next day and I can tell you that I never look forward to my lunch more than when I bring a bowl of this soup!
It’s so easy to make too – simple fry off the veggies in stages. Then add broth and water and simmer until the lentils are cooked and soft. One tip – halfway through the cooking time, check the liquid levels. If the consistency is a bit thick, you might need to add a little bit of hot water. I serve this soup with warmed pita or a fresh rustic loaf if I have one.
To make this Mediterranean Spicy Spinach Lentil Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Saute the onions until soft and golden brown.
Stir in the garlic, coriander, ground cumin, sumac, crushed red peppers, dried mint, sugar and flour. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
Pour in the broth and water and bring to a hard boil.
Add the lentils and frozen spinach. Continue to cook on high for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils are fully cooked and tender.
Add the lime juice and parsley. Remove the soup from the heat and allow to sit covered for 5 minutes or so.
Serve in large soup bowls with pita or a fresh rustic loaf.
