Step 1

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat and add the diced onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes, until the onions are translucent.

Step 2

Stir in the garlic, ginger and spices and saute for 1 more minute.

Step 3

Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, lentils, cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, uncovered. The lentils should thicken and the sweet potatoes should be tender.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Add salt to taste and serve with fresh bread and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
