Ingredients:  
1 onion, minced
2 carrots, minced,
2 celery stalks, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1.5 cups red lentils, rinsed
5 cups vegetable broth
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk

juice of one lemon
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons honey (optional, to taste)
Directions:
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the garlic, spices, and lentils. Stir to combine and let it stay on the heat for just a minute to get the garlic smelling really good.

Add the broth. Bring to a simmer; place lid partially on the pot and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking time.

Add coconut milk, spinach, salt, lemon juice, and season to taste. (I like a little drizzle of honey, and a couple shakes of garlic powder, onion powder, and cranks of freshly ground black pepper.)
