Mediterranean Tomato, Lentil and Spinach Soup
Serve this hearty vegetarian soup with crusty whole wheat bread for a complete meal. I like the sharp and slightly salty addition of freshly grated good Parmesan cheese, but omit it if serving to vegans.

- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil leaf
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried oregano and thyme leaves
- Pinch each dried rosemary leaves, crumbled, and pepper
- 3 cups (750 mL) vegetable stock
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL)diced tomato, including juice
- 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) lentils, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups (750 mL) fresh baby spinach leaves

Preparation
Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in seasonings, vegetable stock, tomatoes, lentils and lemon juice.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes. Stir in spinach leaves until wilted, about 30 seconds. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
