Red Lentil Soup with Sweet Potatoes

Saut and Simmer Veggies

Start by warming some olive oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it cook gently until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, add the sweet potatoes, carrots, minced garlic, garam masala, seasoned salt, cayenne, regular salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes so the spices can get to know the veggies. Pour in the broth and water, then bring the mixture up to a boil. Let it cook for around 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. After that, add the spinach and lentils, bring it back to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the lentils are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
