It's finally starting to get cold here in North Carolina (at least at night) and one of my favorite go-to dinners during cold winter nights is soup. It's such a comfort food to me so expect a few more soup recipes from me before winter is over. Enjoy!
1/4 c olive oil
2-4 stalks celery - chopped
2-4 carrots - diced
3-4 clvs garlic - minced
1 onion - chopped
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried basil
1(14.5oz) can crushed tomatoes
2 c dry lentils
4 c veggie broth
4 c water
1/2 c spinach - rinsed and thinly sliced
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

- In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery; cook and stir until onion is tender. Stir in garlic, bay leaf, oregano, and basil; cook for 2 minutes.
