Here is my very own recipe for making Italian style lentil soup: 2 cups lentils (16 oz.); washed and picked over 7 cups water 1 onion; chopped 2 stalkes celery; chopped 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tsps. salt 2 cups spinach leaves; torn 3 cloves garlic 1 bay leaf 1/2 tsp. cayenne Cook lentils in water with onion, celery, oil and salt for 30 min. Add remaining ingredients and more water if needed. Simmer uncovered for 1 hr., stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaf before serving. Makes enough for 4 - 6 servings. Enjoy! Judy
