Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion peeled and chopped or diced
  • 1 large celery stalk rinsed and chopped
  • 4 small carrots peeled and sliced or diced
  • 2 medium Idaho Potatoes washed thoroughly and cut into chunks
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or Kosher. Adjust for your diet.
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup red lentils rinsed thoroughly
  • 3 vine ripened tomatoes diced or chopped (can sub plum tomatoes)
  • 1 bunch scallions chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cups spinach tightly packed. I used baby organic spinach

FOR THE MISO BROTH:

  • 6 cups water
  • 1/3 cup white miso paste (see comments in notes)
  • 2 tablespoons dashi powder (see comment in notes)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a 5-quart dutch oven or soup pot using medium heat

  2. Add onions and celery. Stir. Cook 2 minutes.

  3. Add in carrots, potatoes, thyme leaves and season with 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher). Stir and cook 2 minutes.

  4. Add in lentils, tomatoes and season with remaining salt. Stir.

MAKE THE MISO DASHI BROTH:

  1. In a large measuring cup or bowl, add the water. Add 1/3 cup miso paste – stir and add in 2 tablespoons dashi powder. Stir until dissolved.

LET'S ADD THE BROTH TO THE VEGGIES:

  1. Pour the Miso Dashi Broth over the veggies. Stir. Cover. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes.

  3. 30 minutes later, the veggies will be very tender and the broth reduced to approximately 4 cups. The broth will also thicken.

  4. Add in the chopped scallions and spinach. Stir. Turn off the heat. Cover the pot with a tight lid for 2 mninutes. This will cook and wilt the spinach perfectly.

  5. Stir and serve hot. Enjoy.
