DIRECTIONS
Procedures:
1Wash the lentils and pick over carefully, removing any small stones.
2Put them in a large pan with the stock.
3Bring to the boil and simmer until they are soft-30 minutes for red lentils and 45 minutes for brown.
4Pell and chop the onion.
5Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onion until soft and golden, adding the finely minced garlic halfway through.
6Wash the spinach, cut in slices and add to the lentils when they are soft, with salt and pepper to taste.
7Simmer until the spinach is cooked, about 8 minutes, then add the onion and garlic and the roughly chopped herbs.
8Simmer for a further 2 - 3 minutes, then cool slightly.
9Puree in a blender and add a little lemon juice - about 1 tbsp - and the yogurt or buttermilk.
10Serve immediately, or, if it is necessary to reheat, do so very carefully, without allowing it to boil.
11This soup is also good served cold.
