LENTIL AND SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Sort and rinse the lentils in a large bowl discarding any debris or damaged legumes.

• Finely mince the garlic and create a paste by mashing it with the salt using a mortar or the back of a large knife.
• In a separate pan, brown the chopped onions in the oil. Add the spinach leaves and stalks, as well as the garlic paste. Simmer over low heat until the spinach is wilted.
• Bring the lentils back to a boil and add the onion spinach mixture and the celery. Turn the heat down again and simmer for 5 minutes.
• If you would like a thin soup, add the lemon juice alone. For a thicker soup, whisk the cornstarch into the lemon juice before adding. If adding cornstarch be certain to simmer a few additional minutes until soup thickens.
