Janella Purcell’s Spinach, Lentil & Lemon Soup
I saw Janella Purcell make this on her and Gary Mehigan’s show ‘Good Chef/ Bad Chef’ on the Lifestyle Food channel.  It is full of dark leafy greens so I had to make it!
After making it tonight for tea (dinner), I will definitely have to make it again another time! It’s a great way to get a lot of dark leafy greens into your diet! And it’s really tasty! Sometimes I find salad too cold or a bit bitter, but this soup is neither!
Some tips on making this soup:
- Soaking your lentils before hand in water with a strip of kombu for 12-24 hours helps to decrease their cooking time and can help to increase their digestibility.
- You can use spinach or silverbeet interchangeably in the recipe.
- When you puree the soup try to make it a very smooth texture as this helps to give the soup a creamy and buttery, texture & taste.

Hope you enjoy this green goodness as much as I did!
