Preparation:
Heat Azada’s Olive Oil & Oregano in a large saucepan and add the onion, crushed garlic, mustard, potatoes, leek, and bay leaf. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the juice and zest of the lemon zest and gently simmer for 20–30 minutes. Add the fresh herbs and spinach, and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Season and ladle the soup into bowls and top each bowl with a soft-boiled egg and a sprinkle of freshly torn dill.
Chef’s Tip
If you prefer your soup a little zingy add the juice and zest of 2 lemons.
