Lentil and spinach soup

Now this is NOT something I would normally cook but I tried it and loved it......

300g brown lentils wash really well

Can of chickpeas - don’t forget to wash them really well
3 stalks of Celery sliced
2 leeks sliced
2 onions
3 cloves of garlic pressed in garlic press
2 carrots chopped small
600g spinach chopped
Half a lemon juice and zest
Splash of olive oil
2 liters water

Place the lentils in a pot with crushed garlic and 2 liters of cold water
Cook for 25 minutes or until tender.

In another pot heat olive oil and add all the vegetables leaving the spinach and chickpeas out cook for about 12 minutes then add the lentils and their water to the vegetables. simmer for 20 minutes until it is like a nice soup consistency then add chickpeas and spinach and salt and pepper simmer for another 7 minutes adding extra water if needed.
