4 carrots 2 bay leaves 4 garlic cloves 8 cups chicken broth instead of water. Simmer covered for 30 to 35 minutes or until lentils and vegetables are tender. Bring to a boil reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
Add the lentils water or broth and bay leaf and bring up to a boil. In a medium 2 to 3 quart saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. For a thicker soup increase cook time by 15 minutes.
This lentil soup is a richly textured warming soup with complex depths of flavor. Stir in the lentils chicken stock and crushed tomatoes. This recipe is simple but delightfully intense and will bring you back to starry desert nights.
Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in 5 cups spinach until wilted. Cover and bring to a simmer about 15 minutes.
