LEMON LENTIL SOUP
The original Greek recipe is rich, lemony, and satisfying but so is this version with fresh lemons, cashew cream, and hearty red lentils.

Steps:
- Grease a saucepan with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Saute carrots, celery, and coriander until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable broth and red lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes.
- Blend lemon juice and cashews together in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.
- Stir the cashew cream, spinach, and parsley in with the lentils. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes more.

GREEK LENTIL AND SPINACH SOUP WITH LEMON
Adapted from "The Dairy Hollow House Soup and Bread Cookbook" by the indomitable Crescent Dragonwagon (not her birth name, obviously). I use a sweet potato instead of the butternut, as I am more likely to have those on hand and they are easier to peel and to scale down for fewer servings. I also use homemade chicken stock in lieu of veggie stock, as my freezer is always loaded with it, but you would get good results even with plain water. Use chard in place of spinach, if you like. Serve as an entree with a Greek salad and some good bread. NOTE: when I first made this, I weighed out a pound of mixed colors of lentils, in an effort to use some up. It came out VERY thick, like porridge, so I had to add extra liquid. For that reason, I recommend using less than the pound of lentils called for; somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4 pound should work well.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy soup pot, combine cleaned lentils, stock (or water), chili, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, oregano, basil, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to very low and let simmer, partially covered, about 30 minutes.
- Add potatoes and spinach, cover again and let simmer another 15 minutes. Add the butternut squash. Cover again and let simmer while you do the next step.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and add the onion and sauté until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and garlic and sauté another 3 minutes, stirring often. Add this mixture to the soup; deglaze the skillet with a little soup and add the pan contents to the pot. Add salt, taste for seasoning.
- Just before serving, add the lemon juice, stir well and taste again for seasoning. Serve hot with a lemon slice floating on top of each bowl of soup.

Steps:
- Prepare your ingredients.
- Heat a large stock pot on Medium Heat; add the tablespoon of olive oil.
- When the oil is hot add the leeks and garlic to be sauteed.
- Saute them until the leeks are clear.
- Turn down the heat to low-- very low.
- Add the chicken stock and water to the pot. Add the potatoes, bay leaves, thyme and oregano. Let the soup simmer on low heat for about an hour or so (or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking).

- **This recipe also doubles well!
