Cook this recipe
- gluten-free vegetable broth-4 cups
- yellow onion-1 each
- garlic-3 cloves
- baby spinach-4 cups
- red lentils-1 cup
- canned diced tomatoes with juices-1 can
- olive oil-1 tablespoon
- canned full-fat coconut milk-1 can
- lemon juice-1 tablespoon
- ground cumin-1 teaspoon
- fine salt-1 teaspoon
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and rinse the red lentils in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear.
Keep fingers tucked and the knife blade angled away from your hand while dicing and mincing.
Heat oil in a 6-quart pot over medium heat. Cook onion for 4–5 minutes, until softened and translucent, stirring often.
Use caution when adding onion to hot oil to reduce splatter.
Stir in the garlic and cumin, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add lentils, tomatoes with juices, broth, coconut milk and salt. Stir and bring to a gentle boil, keeping lentils from sticking.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil to limit hot-liquid splatter.
Simmer gently uncovered for 18–22 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are fully tender and beginning to break down.
Add spinach in handfuls, stirring as it wilts. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until wilted throughout.
Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice. Stir well, portion and serve; cool each spoonful before tasting.
Let a spoonful of hot soup cool slightly before tasting to reduce burn risk.
