Red Lentil Tomato And Spinach Soup


This is an indian dish high in iron. I found this on line and tweeked a bit. Both tomatoes and spinach are good sources of iron. They complement each other. Not in just taste but work together to help the body absorb the iron.

Steps


Heat the butter in a pan and add the onions , garlic and peppercorns.
When the onions turn translucent , add the lentils , tomatoes , salt and 2 cups of water and cook till the dal is tender.
About 20 minutes.
When cool , blend to get a smooth pure.
Add the spinach , milk and bring to a boil.
Finish by adding the lemon juice.
Serve hot.
