Instructions
1
Saut Aromatics and Spices
Start by warming the coconut oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until they’re soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes. Next, add the ginger along with the curry powder, coriander, and cumin. Stir everything together and let the spices cook for a couple of minutes until you can really smell their aroma.
2
Simmer Lentils and Veggies
Pour in the broth and lentils, give it a good stir, and bring the mixture up to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Then, add the cauliflower and sweet potato chunks, cover the pot, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let it all cook until the veggies are tender, which should take around 20 to 25 minutes.
3
Season and Wilt Spinach
When the vegetables are just right, season the soup with salt and pepper, and if you want a bit more kick, sprinkle in some extra curry powder. Finally, stir in the spinach and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until it wilts down. Give everything a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.

Serving Suggestions
Serve the soup with a side of warm crusty bread or over a bed of fluffy rice. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dollop of coconut yogurt on top adds a nice contrast. Pair it with a simple green salad for a complete, balanced meal.
Storage Tips
Let the soup cool completely before storing in an airtight container. It keeps well in the fridge for up to four days. This soup also freezes nicely—just thaw and reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if it’s too thick.
