Greek Lentil And Spinach Soup With Lemon Recipes

GREEK LENTIL AND SPINACH SOUP WITH LEMON

Greek Lentil and Spinach Soup With Lemon image

Adapted from "The Dairy Hollow House Soup and Bread Cookbook" by the indomitable Crescent Dragonwagon (not her birth name, obviously). I use a sweet potato instead of the butternut, as I am more likely to have those on hand and they are easier to peel and to scale down for fewer servings. I also use homemade chicken stock in lieu of veggie stock, as my freezer is always loaded with it, but you would get good results even with plain water. Use chard in place of spinach, if you like. Serve as an entree with a Greek salad and some good bread. NOTE: when I first made this, I weighed out a pound of mixed colors of lentils, in an effort to use some up. It came out VERY thick, like porridge, so I had to add extra liquid. For that reason, I recommend using less than the pound of lentils called for; somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 pound should work well.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1 lb lentils, washed and picked over
10 cups vegetable stock
1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons white coriander seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 small potatoes, scrubbed and diced
10 ounces fresh spinach, well washed, stems removed and chopped
2 1/2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, with leaves, sliced
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
salt, to taste
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
paper-thin slices lemon, for garnish

Steps:

In a large, heavy soup pot, combine cleaned lentils, stock (or water), chili, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to very low and let simmer, partially covered, about 30 minutes.
Add potatoes and spinach, cover again and let simmer another 15 minutes. Add the butternut squash. Cover again and let simmer while you do the next step.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion and sauté until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and garlic and sauté another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add this mixture to the soup; deglaze the skillet with a little soup and add the pan contents to the pot. Add salt, taste for seasoning.
Just before serving, add the lemon juice, stir well and taste again for seasoning. Serve hot with a lemon slice floating on top of each bowl of soup.

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 leeks, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3 potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh oregano
4 cups chicken stock (you can substitute vegetable stock here to make this dish vegetarian.)
8 cups water
350 g green lentils (these must be soaked for two hours before using them in the recipe, we've also used a mixture of RED)
500 g spinach, trimmed & chopped (English)
1/3 cup lemon juice
lemon wedge (for garnish)
sour cream (for garnish)

Steps:

Prepare your ingredients.
Heat a large stock pot on Medium Heat; add the tablespoon of olive oil.
When the oil is hot add the leeks and garlic to be sauteed.
Saute them until the leeks are clear.
Turn down the heat to low-- very low.
Add the chicken stock and water to the pot. Add the potatoes, bay leaves, thyme and oregano. Let the soup simmer on low heat for about an hour or so (or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking).
Add the lentils at this point; continue simmering for 10 minutes.
Just before you are about to serve dinner, add in the spinach and lemon juice.
The longer the spinach is in the soup, the more it will be wilted.
It is best added to the soup minutes before you are about to serve it.
Garnish the soup with a lemon wedge and a dollop of sour cream.
**This soup could also easily be prepared in a crock pot!
**This recipe also doubles well!
