2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Ingredients

Before cooking, chop all vegetables into even pieces so they cook at the same pace. Rinse both types of lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Measure out spices and liquids in advance to keep the cooking process smooth and stress-free.

Cooking Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, potato, and garlic, then cook for about five minutes until slightly softened. Season with salt, pepper, and all spices, stirring constantly for two minutes. Add lentils and cook briefly, then pour in vegetable broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir well, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for thirty minutes. Remove from heat, stir in almond milk, lemon juice, and spinach, then serve once the greens wilt.

Tips for Perfect Results

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid rushing the spice step because gently warming spices builds depth of flavor. Stir tomato paste thoroughly so it dissolves evenly. Also, do not overcook after adding spinach, since it only needs a moment to soften.

Pro Tips for Better Flavor

For extra richness, toast the spices slightly longer while stirring constantly. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens the soup. If you enjoy texture contrast, add cooked quinoa just before serving for an extra hearty finish.

Serving and Storage

How to Serve
