Prep aromatics and lentils
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife
Fine-mesh strainer

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.

1 Each yellow onion
3 Count garlic
1 cup red lentils
2
Soften the onion
Large pot
Wooden spoon

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.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 Each yellow onion
3
Bloom the aromatics
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Stir in the garlic and cumin, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3 Count garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4
Add liquids and lentils
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Large pot
Wooden spoon

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.

1 cup red lentils
1 can tomatoes
4 cups vegetable broth
1 can coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
5
Simmer the soup
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Simmer gently uncovered for 18–22 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally, until lentils are fully tender and beginning to break down.

6
Wilt the spinach
Large pot
Wooden spoon

Add spinach in handfuls, stirring as it wilts. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until wilted throughout.

4 cups spinach
7
Finish and serve
Wooden spoon

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.

1 tablespoon lemon juice
