Ingredients (serves 6)


  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 litres vegetable stock 
  • 1 bunch English spinach, leaves removed, washed, chopped (Any spinach will work)

Directions:


  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft. Add lentils, potatoes and stock. Bring to the boil. Use a slotted spoon to skim any residue from surface of soup.
