Lentil Soup

This soup costs about $3 a pot to make. It serves about six people. It contains a complete protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamin C. It only gets one pot dirty. It only takes about an hour. And it tastes great, especially on rainy winter days.
Ingredients A
- 4 C water
- 1 C lentils
- 4 oz. frozen spinach, chopped (you’ll have to saw a block in half unless you want to double the recipe)
- 2 potatoes, cubed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 Knorr boullion cubes (or another brand, as specified for 4 cups water on package)
Ingredients B
- 1.5 t ground coriander
- 2 T lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Handful of cooked rice, if you have some lying around (it makes a complete protein with the lentils)
- Put Ingredients A in big (5 quart) pot. Boil 1 hour.
- Add Ingredients B and stir.
- Boil 15 more minutes or until you get so hungry you can’t wait. Eat.
Serves ~6. And remember…the longer it sits, the better it gits…within reason, of course.
Thanks (again) to my wonderful mother Lynne.
