Lentil Spinach Soup

Eyla loves this soup. It is really thick which is great as she is using utensils, so it sticks nicely to her spoon or fork. She also likes to dip rice cakes in it, which is a perfect way to make this meal complete. This soup is a really easy way to get some more greens in her diet. Eyla loves her veggies, but I just like to make sure she is getting lots of leafy greens.

1 onion
6 cloves of garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground Ginger
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp tumeric
2 cups lentils
2 carrots
2 celery
1 sweet potato
1 pkg spinach
6 cups water
Salt to taste

Sauté the onions and garlic in oil until translucent. Add the spices and heat until fragrant. Dice and add the celery, carrots and sweet potatoes. Rinse and add the lentils and water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes until lentils and veggies are tender. Add the spinach and simmer for 5 min. Then either transfer to blender or use an emersion blender and blend until smooth. Green soup!!!!

Yummy note: my hubby was having peas for his dinner so we added them too our second bowl and YUM!! I will make it with peas on purpose next time!
