Method

  1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onions, carrots, and celery and
    cook until they become tender, about 6-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to
    taste.
  2. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and cinnamon. Heat until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds. Add lentils to the
    pan and heat 1-2 minutes to slightly toast. Pour in the chicken broth, water, and lemon juice then
    bring the pot to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
  3. Right before serving, stir in the spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes.
    Serve while still hot.
