This Spiced Lentil & Spinach Soup is the epitome of wholesome, comforting nourishment. Red lentils cook quickly into a creamy base, infused with the warm flavors of cumin, smoked paprika, and a hint of cayenne. Fresh spinach is stirred in at the end, wilting perfectly to add color, texture, and a boost of iron. This halal and vegan-friendly soup is incredibly satisfying, easy to digest, and perfect for a light lunch, a warming dinner, or a nutritious meal during Ramadan. Serve it with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a simple, delicious dish that feels both grounding and revitalizing.
