Spiced Sweet Potato Lentil Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pinches red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 4 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil in a cooking vessel over an intermediate heat setting, 4.
2
Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until it emits a fragrant aroma, approximately 2 to 4 minutes.
3
Next, incorporate the red pepper flakes, turmeric, and garam masala into the onion mixture and continue to cook until it is evenly coated, roughly 2 additional minutes.
4
Combine the lentils and broth with the onion mixture; bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat to a low setting, cover it, and allow it to cook until the lentils are tender but still retain some firmness when bitten into, around 15 minutes.
5
Introduce the sweet potatoes to the lentil mixture; bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to a low setting, cover it, and let it simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender and the lentils have finished cooking, approximately 10 additional minutes.
6
Add the spinach to the mixture; cook until it has wilted, taking between 3 to 5 minutes.
7
Finally, season the dish with salt.
