Lentil Soup

Cooking Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, green pepper, and garlic; cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the vegetables soften.

Stir in the stewed tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the water, spinach, lentils, brown rice, herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover partially and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are very tender. Serve hot.
