Time 1h15m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup olive oil
4 large carrots, chopped
1 large white onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
½ teaspoon cumin
1 (16 ounce) package dry lentils
1 cup crushed tomatoes
2 quarts vegetable broth
1 (10 ounce) package spinach
1 large zucchini, cut into small pieces
1 pinch salt to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, onion, salt, parsley, black pepper, ginger, tarragon, and cumin in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir lentils and tomatoes into the carrot mixture. Pour vegetable broth over the vegetables, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, place a cover on the pot, and simmer until the lentils are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Stir spinach and zucchini into the broth mixture; simmer until the zucchini is tender, about 7 minutes more. Remove pot from heat and season soup with salt. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the soup before serving.
