Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for a couple of minutes or until soft and fragrant. Stir in the carrots, and cook for another minute or two.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, and spices, stirring to coat the vegetables. Now add the salt and tomatoes, stir, and pour the vegetable stock in.
  • Increase the heat to high, cover the pot, and bring the soup to a rolling boil. Add the lentils and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, covered, or until the carrots are tender.
  • Stir in the spinach and turn off the heat, letting the hot soup thaw the spinach with the lid on. Add the lemon juice, taste, and season with salt if necessary.

Notes

If you want to use fresh spinach, go for about 100g and remove any larger stems.
Using the heat from the soup to thaw the spinach has two purposes- it brings the soup down to an edible temperature, and it keeps the nutrients of the spinach largely intact. And the color stays nice and green.
Sometimes I don’t add the lemon-if the brand of tomatoes you’re using is very acidic, you might want to leave the lemon out.
