Instructions

1. Prepare the base. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bone marrows and brown them on all sides. 2. Build the broth. Pour in 2 quarts of water and add the bouillon cube. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the bouillon. Add more water as needed to maintain the same volume of broth throughout cooking. 3. Cook the vegetables and lentils. Add the lentils, baby carrots, yams, potatoes, and corn to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer,

cover, and cook until all the vegetables and lentils are tender (about 20–25 minutes). 4. Finish the soup. Stir in the spinach (if using) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the clean bones from the soup before serving. 5. Serve. Remove the pot from heat and serve the soup immediately. Enjoy!
