Instructions

  • In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Stir in the ginger and spices and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the vegetable broth, lentils, cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the red lentils are cooked. 
  • Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Add salt to taste and serve with fresh bread and chopped fresh cilantro.

Notes

 
  1. I like to buy the tubes of grated ginger, and just squeeze out what I need.
  2. May also use frozen cauliflower to make this recipe even easier.
