1
In a pot, combine 4 cups of water, the lentils, onion, garlic and bay leaf, and bring to a boil. You can add some celery tops for added flavor, if desired.

Remove the onion, garlic, bay leaf (and celery tops, if used). Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

In a saucepan or deep skillet heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the diced carrots and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, stir to blend, and cook for 1 minute. Add the cooked lentils, spinach and soy sauce. Stir well, cover, and cook over low heat until the spinach is wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Serve over hot rice, if desired.
