It's tastey and a good way to use produce.

Ingredience

• Lentils (2-3c)
• Carrots (2-ish)
• Celery (2-ish)
• Onions (1/2 large) I don't like onions lmao
• Other produce if you feel like it
• Garlic, bay leaf, oregano, basil, vinegar, salt, pepper
• Crushed tomatoes (1 can/15 oz)

Steps

1. In a large soup pot, heat olive oil (1/4c) over medium heat.
2. Add carrots and celery (2 ish each); cook and stir for a bit. (And the onions here if you like onions.)
3. Stir in garlic, bay leaf, oregano, and basil; cook for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in lentils (3c), and add water (8c) and tomatoes (1 can crushed).
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for the amount of time on your lentil package.
6. When ready to serve stir in spinach (1/2c, optional because leafs are a pain to keep), and cook until it wilts.
7. Stir in vinegar (2 tbsp), and season to taste with salt and pepper, and more vinegar if desired.
