Syrian-Style Lentil And Spinach Soup

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2/3 cup dry green lentils
• 1 3/4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup chopped fresh spinach
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until soft about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lentils and water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cooking times will vary depending on the freshness of the lentils.
2. Ladle a half cup of the soup liquid into a bowl and whisk in the flour to form a paste. Mix the paste into the soup. Add the spinach, lemon juice, and salt. If you prefer a thinner soup, add a bit more water. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Adjust salt and lemon to suit your taste.
