Spinach Soup with Lentils

Serves 6 as Soup.

This very easy basic recipe is one of my favorite soups of all time. It has a great combination of flavors.

• 2 packs frozen spinach, chopped
  
• 3 T green lentils
  
• 1 T vegetable oil
  
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  
• 2 T all purpose flour
  
• 1 tsp garam masala
  
• salt and freshly ground pepper
  
• 1 c vegetable stock
  
• 4 c whole milk
  

Cook frozen chopped spinach and green lentils in 4 cups of unsalted water, until the lentils are tender and cooked and then drain the excess water.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Blend in flour, garam masala, salt and pepper and then gradually add vegetable stock and milk, stirring constantly. Then add the cooked spinach and lentils. Reduce to simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour it into soup bowls and serve hot.
