How to make Detox Moroccan Lentil Soup

Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the oil. Saute the onions, celery, carrot, potato, and garlic in the hot oil for about 5 minutes until everything has softened a bit. Season with salt, pepper, and spices, cooking continuously for another 2 minutes.

Step 2: Add the lentils to the pot and saute for a minute or two. Pour in the broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir well until the tomato paste has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Take the pot away from the heat before adding in the almond milk, lemon juice, and spinach, then stir until the spinach has wilted.

Step 4: Before serving, garnish with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, some fresh parsley, pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and jalapeno slices if desired. Enjoy!
