1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

1 ½ medium heads cauliflower

1420 ml chicken or vegetable broth

3 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

0.68 kg sweet potato

3 whole grain pitas

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

coriander, ground

extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Peel and small dice the onions. Peel and mince the garlic.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat.

Peel and mince or grate the ginger.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse the lentils in a colander or strainer.

Add ginger and spices to the pot; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the lentils, broth, water, salt and pepper to the pot; bring the mixture to a boil.

Meanwhile, peel and small dice the sweet potatoes; add to the pot.

Trim and discard the leaves and thick stem of the cauliflower heads and cut into small, bite-sized pieces; add to the pot.

Stir to combine the soup, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.

Cut pita into wedges.

Uncover the soup and stir in the spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted and soup is heated through, about 4 more minutes.

To serve, divide soup between bowls and serve with pita on the side. Enjoy!
