  • 1 pound dried lentils (about 1 bag as packaged in most grocery stores)
  • 2 medium potatoes skinned and chopped
  • 1 rib celery finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 carrot sliced
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce (or 1 can)
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1/2 tsp celery seed

  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Bring 10 cups water to boil
