Ingredients:
- 3 cups of dry lentils (make sure they're not too old, or they may not soften), or alternatively 3 cans of lentils.
- 1 sliced medium-sized onion
- 2 cups frozen spinach OR 2 cups kale
- 3 tbsp miso paste + salt to taste
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 1/2 blended lemon (or 2 squeezed lemons if no blender)
- Black pepper to taste
Process:
- In a pot filled 3/4 with water, add the lentils, onion, fennel seeds, and black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 55 minutes, then add the frozen spinach--or if using kale, let simmer for 40 minutes, then add the kale.
- Add the miso (mixed in with water before adding so it stirs in)/salt and lemons and let simmer for another 5 minutes--or 20 minutes if using kale, adding the lemons 5 minutes before turning off the heat.
Serving:
Pour the soup in a bowl. For added acidity, add a thin slice of lemon to the plate. For added spiciness, add a few slices of jalapeno.
