Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup lentils
  • 2 (10.75-ounce) cans tomato soup

Method

  1. Rinse lentils in a fine mesh strainer under cold running water, removing any debris or rocks. Combine soup, 1 1/2 cups water, lentils and carrots in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until lentils and carrots are tender, about 17 to 20 minutes.
  2. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley (if using) and serve.
