Ingredients

    2 medium onions, chopped
    Ginger Root, fresh, grated
    Olive Oil. 1 tbsp
    Garlic 4 cloves
    Cumin Seeds
    Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp or to taste)
    Vegetable Stock
    Cauliflower, cut into bite-sized portions
    Frozen spinach, thawed
    Dried Lentils
    Fresh Cilantro, minced
    Salt (to taste)

Tips

If freezing, omit cilantro until serving. Reheat soup then add cilantro 5 minutes before serving.

I freely adjust ingredients. Original recipe only has 1 tbsp of ginger, but I like a lot more. Also more garlic.

Original recipe also only had 4 cups of vegetable stock.


Directions

1. In a soup pot on medium heat, saute onions until translucent.

2. Add ginger, garlic, cumin, red pepper and tumeric and saute for 2 minutes.

3. Add stock, cauliflower, tomatoes and lentils.

4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.

5. Cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are cooked.

6. Add spinach and cook 1 minute or until thoroughly warm.

7. Stir in cilantro and salt (if desired - I don't use it), remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes before serving.
