Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This allows the lentils to cook thoroughly and absorb the flavors of the broth and spices.
6. Check for Doneness:
Simmer the soup until the lentils become tender and the texture thickens. This typically takes around 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
7. Blend for Creaminess:
For a creamier consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot. This step is optional but highly recommended for a luscious, creamy texture.
8. Add Spinach and Lemon Juice:
Stir in the 3 cups of baby spinach and the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. The spinach will wilt quickly in the hot soup, adding a fresh, vibrant green color and a boost of nutrients. Season the soup with 1 teaspoon of salt, adjusting to taste.
