This is a popular, healthy lentil dish that can be found all over the Middle East. My version is Lebanese, taught to me by my Lebanese mother-in-law. I could eat this every day it's so healthy and delicious! Serve with toasted French bread for dipping.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onions
1 pound brown lentils
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whole leaf spinach
1 tablespoon dried mint, crushed
salt to taste
¾ cup lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large pot over high heat. When oil is very hot, add onions and stir until onions begin to turn dark brown and caramelize, about 10 minutes. Put the lentils, garlic, frozen spinach, and mint into the pot. Pour in enough water so that it is about 2 inches deeper than the lentil mixture. Stir well to loosen browned bits of onion on the bottom of the pot.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. If soup gets too thick, add a little more water. Salt to taste. Lower heat and stir in lemon juice.

I'm not a big fan of lentil soup, but this recipe was really good. The lentils were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

I love this soup! It's so comforting and flavorful. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. It's also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

This lentil soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and packed with flavor. The tangy lemon and the warmth of the cumin and coriander really came through. I'll definitely be making this again.
