Pasta Soup with Herbed Lentils

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 large onion
    non stick cooking spray
    4 cups veggie stock
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup dried lentils
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon dried sage
    1/2 teaspoon dried coriander
    1 package frozen spinach, thawed
    1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
    1/2 cup acini de pepe or orzo
    salt and pepper

Directions:

Saute the onion in a pot until soft but not brown.  Add the water and the stock and bring to a boil.  Add the lentils, sage, oregano and coriander.  Cover and simmer until the lentils are almost tender, about 20 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and bring back to a boil.  At the pasta and the spinach.  Heat for 10 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

This is a wonderful filling meal for a hot night.

Serves: 4

Well, first of all, I should say that this "Soup" may not look beautiful but it tasted very good.  It was far thicker than I expected considering all the liquids in it.  I would consider it more of a stew than soup, especially when reheated the next.  I used red lentils so it cooked much faster then suggested and I used some homemade tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes.  It made a boat-load, far more then 4 servings, maybe 6-8 bowls instead.  My 11 year old said it was her new favorite food-even with the spinach in it!!!!!

I think this will be on the dinner menu this week!  I'll probably use quinoa instead of pasta (we're gluten-free), but it sounds so darn yummy.  Thank you!

Kates211,
I would love to hear how it works out with quinoa since I have not had any success with quinoa but would like to add to my diet.  This might actually work!  I bet rice would work too.  Let me know how long you end up cooking, etc.
