Directions
Spinach, Lemon and Lentil Soup,This recipe was shared with me by my one of my dearest friends. My husband & I have duplicated the recipe many times since our first tasting and it’s received many great reviews! This recipe can be altered for a vegetarian’s meal.,This soup is very hearty and tasty. I cut the recipe in half. From past experience, I knew the lentils use would not cook in 10 minutes, so I reversed the order of lentils and potato. I cooked the lentils 1 hour and THEN added the potatoes for about 15 minutes. I think the potatoes cooked for an hour would have dissolved 🙂 The lemon juice really adds some zing to the flavor. I served with a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Made for Fall 2011 PAC game.,This soup is very hearty and tasty. I cut the recipe in half.
