Wild Rice Lentil Soup


Wild Rice Lentil Soup
serves 6-8

2 Carrots, sliced
1/4 Cup wild rice
1/4 Cup lentils
1 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon oregano
1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
14 oz can reduced sodium crushed tomatoes
6 Cups water
3 Vegetable bouillon cubes
2 Potatoes, diced
Baby spinach

Place all ingredients, except potatoes and spinach, in soup pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, add potatoes and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes and rice are tender.   To serve, place a handful of spinach in a bowl and ladle soup on top.

Notes: Cooking time may vary depending on how tender you want your rice and potatoes. You may not want to simmer your potatoes quite as long if you want them more crisp.
