Instructions

1
In a pot with olive oil, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the garlic and grated ginger and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
2
Stir in the turmeric and cumin, then add the sweet potato cubes and rinsed red lentils. Sauté everything briefly together.
3
Pour in the vegetable stock. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and cook covered for about 20 minutes, until the potato and lentils are tender.
4
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the baby spinach, which will wilt instantly in the hot liquid.
5
Add lemon juice for freshness and better iron absorption from the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
For a creamier texture, you can scoop out some of the soup, blend it with an immersion blender, and return it to the pot.
