Servings: 4-6
Preparation Time: 1 1/4 hours+ soaking time for lentils

  • 3/4 cup green lentils
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika

  • 1 pint diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup parsley, minced
  • 6 ounces spinach leaves, chopped

  • additional broth, as needed

In a bowl, cover lentils with an inch of warm water, stir in the vinegar and soak 8 hours, up to overnight. After soaking, drain lentils and rinse well.

In a soup pot, warm the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the diced onions, carrots, celery, sweet potato, garlic and pink salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, paprika and turmeric. Mix well.
