Ingredients
for 6 servings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
28 oz (795 g) crushed tomato
6 cups (1.4 L) vegetable broth
⅓ cup (55 g) green lentil, rinsed
8 oz (225 g) lasagna noodle, uncooked
3 cups (120 g) spinach
fresh basil, cut chiffonade, for serving
Preparation
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent.
Add the garlic, tomato paste, basil, and oregano, and cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the onions are translucent and herbs are fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and lentils, and bring to a boil. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for 10 minutes or until lentils are halfway tender.
Break apart the lasagna noodles into about 2-inch-long (5-cm) pieces and add to the pot. Let the soup cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the lentils are tender.
Stir in the spinach and let wilt, then serve immediately.
Enjoy!
